The prosecution of this case is dismissed.

1. 이 사건 공소사실의 요지 피고인은 2019. 6. 24. 03:00경 서울 서초구 B 소재 피해자 C 운영의 ‘D’에서, 피해자와 다투던 중 피해자의 지인 E, F 등이 있는 자리에서 피해자에게 “혼인신고도 하지 않고 사는 주제에 그게 무슨 신랑이냐. 시댁에 돈 보고 살면서 웬 고소질이냐"라고 공연히 사실을 적시하여 피해자의 명예를 훼손하였다.

2. We examine the judgment. The facts charged in the instant case are the crimes falling under Article 307(1) of the Criminal Act, which cannot be prosecuted against the victim’s express intent under Article 312(2) of the same Act.

According to the statement of withdrawal of a complaint filed on January 31, 2020, which was bound in the records, and the result of the sentencing investigation of this court, it can be acknowledged that the victim has withdrawn his/her wish to punish the defendant on January 31, 2020, which was after the institution of the instant indictment.

[On the other hand, according to the result of the court's sentencing investigation, the victim may be found to have satisfied the submission of the above written withdrawal of complaint and again wanting to punish the defendant. However, in the case of the victim's expression of wish not to punish or withdrawal of the wishing to punish the defendant, it cannot be said that the victim's expression of wish not to punish again after the express expression is made once, or that the wish not to punish again is not expressed (see Supreme Court Decision 2007Do3405, Sept. 6, 2007). Thus, this does not have any effect. 3. Accordingly, the prosecution of this case is dismissed in accordance with Article 327 subparagraph 6 of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition.
