The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

On April 25, 2016, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted the Defendant on the ground that there was no proof of the relevant crime regarding the violation of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Child Abuse Crimes (Punishment among the school expenses for children, such as child welfare facility workers) among the facts charged in the instant case.

In light of the record, the lower court did not err in its judgment by violating the rules of evidence or by misapprehending the legal doctrine on emotional abuse against children, as alleged in the grounds of appeal.

Meanwhile, although the prosecutor appealed to the entire judgment of the court below, the prosecutor did not state the grounds for appeal in the petition of appeal and did not state the grounds for appeal in the petition of appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
