2. Determination
A. The indecent act in the relevant legal principles is objectively an act that causes sexual humiliation or aversion to the general public and is contrary to good sexual morality, and thus infringing on the victim’s sexual freedom. Whether it constitutes such an act should be determined carefully by comprehensively taking into account the victim’s intent, gender, age, relationship between the offender and the victim prior to the occurrence of the act, circumstances leading to the act, specific form of the act, objective circumstances surrounding the act, and sexual moral sense in that time.
(See Supreme Court Decision 2001Do2417 Decided April 26, 2002, etc.). Moreover, there is no subjective motive or objective to stimulate, stimulate, and satisfy sexual desire as a subjective element necessary for the establishment of the crime of indecent act by compulsion.
