The defendant's appeal is dismissed.

1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

A. misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles, the Defendant was only engaged in sexual traffic between a entertainment drinking club loan operated by himself and a customer, without actively arranging such fact, and there was no intention to mediate, and thus, this cannot be deemed as an act of sexual traffic brokerage. Therefore, the judgment below convicting the Defendant of the facts charged is erroneous in misunderstanding of facts or misapprehending of legal principles

B. The lower court’s sentence of unreasonable sentencing (eight months of imprisonment and two years of suspended execution) is unreasonable.

2. Determination

A. The phrase “act of arranging sexual traffic” under Article 19(2)1 of the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement of Commercial Sex Acts, Etc. means that the parties intending to engage in sexual traffic make good offices or facilitates convenience. Thus, in order to act as a broker for sexual traffic, the parties intending to engage in sexual traffic should not have to actually engage in or face with each other. It is sufficient that the parties intending to engage in sexual traffic by linking the intentions of the parties intending to engage in sexual traffic and even if there is no involvement of the broker, there is only an arrangement to the extent that it can be done between the parties intending to engage in sexual traffic.

On the other hand, in cases where commercial sex acts are committed only with commercial sex acts or with commercial sex acts as well as business mainly aimed at engaging in commercial sex acts, the act of arranging commercial sex acts constitutes "act of arranging commercial sex acts, etc." and the perception of the crime of arranging commercial sex acts is sufficient without the need to recognize the specific contents of the act.
