The appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The judgment below
Examining the reasoning in light of the evidence duly admitted by the court below, the court below is just to have found all of the facts charged in this case guilty on the grounds as stated in its reasoning. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles on the probative value of evidence or “defence” under Article 7(5) of the former Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse (amended by Act No. 11047, Sep. 15, 201) and by misapprehending the legal principles on “defence” and by violating the Supreme Court precedents.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
