2. Determination

가. 사실오인 주장에 대한 판단 1) 공소사실 피고인은 2017. 11. 11. 00:15경 남양주시 B아파트 C동 1,2 라인 앞 노상에서 맞은편에서 걸어오던 피해자 D(여, 24세)을 발견하고 오른쪽 손바닥으로 피해자의 오른쪽 허벅지 바깥쪽을 스치듯이 툭 치며 1회 만져 강제로 추행하였다. 2) 원심의 판단 피고인은 원심에서도 이 부분 항소이유와 동일한 취지의 주장을 하였고, 원심은 피해자가 피해사실을 구체적이고 일관되게 진술하고 있고, 피고인을 모함할 이유가 없는 등 그 진술에 신빙성이 인정되며, 피고인에게 미필적으로나마 강제추행의 고의를 인정할 수 있다고 판단하여 피고인에 대한 공소사실을 유죄로 인정하였다.

3) The crime of indecent act by compulsion in the relevant legal doctrine includes not only the case where an indecent act is committed after the other party makes it difficult to resist by means of assault or intimidation, but also the case of so-called indecent act in which the act of assault itself is recognized as an indecent act. In particular, in the case of indecent act by deception, if the indecent act at the same time does not necessarily require to be sufficient to suppress the other party’s intent and at the same time when the exercise of force against the other party’s will is against the other party’s will, regardless of the exaggeration of the force (see Supreme Court Decision 2019Do1594, Mar. 26, 2020). Furthermore, the indecent act causes sexual humiliation or aversion to the general public objectively and is contrary to the good moral sense.
