Reasons
Criminal History Office
1. Violation of the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles against Sexual Abuse;
At around 12:00 on June 4, 2017, the Defendant promised the juvenile F (nive, 17 years of age) who became aware of through the aforementioned “E” to have sexual intercourses five times a month with the above F and the single sexual intercourses with the Defendant.
As a result, the defendant promised to provide consideration to juveniles, thereby buying sex for juveniles.
2. Fraud;
(a) Fraud against victim G;
On March 2017, the Defendant stated that “A victim G will be given KRW 6 million if he/she had sexual intercourses with B at the 6th time of the month” at the mutual infinite-si H around the end of 2017.
However, in fact, the Defendant had sexual intercourse with the victim at once with the intention of not paying the price for commercial sex acts immediately, and, if the Defendant wishes to receive 6 million won as agreed upon by the victim, it was thought that the victim himself/herself would have given up the performance of the contract because it was difficult to accept the condition that "if he/she wants to receive 6 million won as agreed upon by the victim, he/she would be in a situation from the second sexual relationship, or that he/she should immediately go to the contact," and the monthly income of the Defendant was limited to 1.50-1.8 million won from the beginning, there was no intention or ability to pay the price promised to the victim even if he/she had sexual intercourse with the victim from the beginning.
As above, the Defendant, by deceiving the victim as above, had the victim committed a single sexual intercourse with the victim, and exempted the victim from paying the consideration for sexual intercourse amounting to approximately one million won, thereby acquiring property benefits equivalent to the same amount.
(b) Fraud against victim F;
The Defendant stated to the victim F at the date, time, and place specified in the above paragraph (1) that “I would like to give 4 million won if he/she had sexual intercourses with B at least five times a month.”
However, in fact, the defendant was thought that he would not immediately pay sexual intercourse with the victim even if he wanted to receive 4 million won as a lump sum of 4 million won, and he would have the victim waive the performance of the contract by subjecting to the conditions that it is difficult to accept such conditions as the victim's sexual intercourse in outdoor, such as building and rooftop, or the victim's sexual intercourse with 2:1,00 won as "a defect in sexual intercourse". In addition, the monthly income of the defendant was 1.5 million to 1.5 million won. Thus, the defendant did not have any intent or ability to pay the price agreed upon to the victim even from the beginning, as seen above, even if he had sexual intercourse with the victim.
As above, the Defendant, by deceiving the victim as above, had the victim committed a single sexual intercourse with the victim and exempted the victim from paying the consideration for sexual intercourse amounting to approximately KRW 800,000,000.
3. Violation of the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts;
On March 1, 2017, the Defendant: (a) paid 200,000 won in cash to the above G while engaging in one-time sexual intercourse through the said “E” in the mutual incompetence located in Yeongdeungpo-gu Seoul, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul; and (b) engaged in sexual intercourse on five occasions in total from that to June 14, 2017, as described in the list of crimes.
