The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

In light of the records, the court below is just in maintaining the judgment of the court of first instance which acquitted the defendant on the grounds that there is no proof of facts constituting a crime or the defendant's case does not constitute a crime. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of logic and experience, exceeding the bounds of the principle of free conviction, or by misapprehending the legal principles on the crime of violation of the Act on Promotion of the Use of Information and Communications Network and Information Protection, Etc. (Defamation)

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
