The defendant shall be innocent.
Reasons
1. On June 22, 2013, the summary of the charge was known that the Defendant was a spouse of A, and the Defendant had a sexual intercourse with A at the Defendant’s residence located in Nowon-gu, Seoul Special Metropolitan City, Nowon-gu building 603.
2. The prosecutor charged a public prosecution with regard to the facts charged in the instant case by applying Article 241(1) of the Criminal Act, and the judgment subject to a retrial, which was found guilty, became final and conclusive on August 29, 2014.
On February 26, 2015, the Constitutional Court declared that Article 241 of the Criminal Act, including the above applicable provisions, is unconstitutional.
[The Constitutional Court Decision 209Hun-Ba17,205, 2010Hun-Ba194, 2011Hun-Ba4, 2012Hun-Ba4, 2012Hun-Ba5, 255, 411, 2013Hun-Ba139, 161, 267, 276, 342, 365, 2014Hun-Ba53, 464, 201Hun-Ba31, 2011Hun-Ba31, 2014Hun-Ga4, 2014Hun-Ga4, which was decided as unconstitutional on February 26, 2015] The Constitutional Court Decision 201Hun-Ba (see Article 47(3) of the Constitutional Court Act), which retroactively loses its effect on the day following the date on which the previous decision was made (see Article 241 of the Criminal Act). Thus, the Constitutional Court Decision 2008Hun-Ba107, 308,207.
Where the provisions of the penal law are retroactively invalidated due to the decision of unconstitutionality, the defendant's case which was prosecuted by applying the relevant provisions of the law shall be deemed to be a crime.
(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 91Do2825, May 8, 1992; 2005Do8317, Jun. 28, 2007). Thus, the facts charged in this case constitute a crime and thus, is acquitted pursuant to the former part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
