1) Defendant and the respondent for an attachment order

A) misunderstanding of facts or misapprehension of legal principles

Inasmuch as there is not sufficient evidence to acknowledge that the victim’s wife was caused by rape of the defendant and the person against whom the attachment order was requested (hereinafter “the defendant”), or because it does not constitute injury to the crime of causing rape, the defendant cannot be punished as the crime of causing rape, and only the crime of causing rape may be established. However, since the victim revoked the complaint against the defendant on May 13, 2013, the prosecution against rape among the charges of this case should be dismissed.

B) Unreasonable sentencing

The sentence of the court below is too unreasonable.

(ii)a prosecutor;

The sentence of the court below is too unhued and unfair.

B. Part of the attachment order case

The defendant appealed to the defendant on the ground that the period of attachment order is too short and unfair.

2. Determination

A. Part of the defendant's case

1) Summary of the charge of the instant case’s injury resulting from rape

At around 19:00 on August 6, 2007, the Defendant: (a) reported the victim Nonindicted Party 1 (Woo, 15 years of age) returned home in Dongducheon-si (hereinafter omitted); and (b) took a shoulder with the victim; (c) met the victim as if he was a deadly weapon, and (d) took the victim’s knife on the side gate of the victim as if he was a deadly weapon, and (d) took the victim into a toilet at Dongducheon-si ( Address omitted).

At the above time and place, the Defendant met the part of the victim, and made the victim prompt to see her sexual organ, made the victim report the wall back, inserted her sexual organ into the part of the victim's sexual organ in order of the victim's sexual organ behind the victim's back, and her act of self-confising the victim's sound and resistance with the victim's defect that she is standing off. After that, the Defendant tried to re-Rape the victim after sitting the victim on the part of the defendant, but the victim was only the victim's sound and resistance against the defect that she was standing.

Accordingly, the defendant raped the victim, thereby resulting in the victim's non-competence in the number of days of treatment.

2) Determination as to whether the victim was injured by the Defendant’s rape crime

In full view of the following circumstances, i.e., the evidence duly adopted and examined by the court below and the trial court: ① the victim did not have sexual experience at the time of the case; ② the victim made a statement that he was 15 years of age as a result of the police investigation on the day of the case; ③ the victim was given medical examination at the hospital immediately after the case, ③ the victim was found to have been 3 times of the opening (5 times, 7cc, 9cc). ④ The above examination and examination correspond to the Defendant’s rape crime; ④ there is no circumstance to deem that the victim suffered the above situation due to other reasons than the Defendant’s crime; ⑤ The medical record of the victim of sexual assault stated the above examination results, ⑤ The victim of sexual assault could not have mentioned about the possibility of suffering from the above situation due to the Defendant’s rape, and thus, this part of the Defendant’s assertion is without merit.

3) Determination as to whether the injured party's wife constitutes injury to the injured party in the crime of rape

A) In the crime of injury resulting from rape means that the physical condition of a victim is changed to a bad condition of the victim, and that a disability is caused to his/her living function. If the injured party’s wife is extremely minor and does not need treatment, and the injured party’s daily life is unable to be treated without treatment, and the injured party’s physical condition is naturally cured following the lapse of time, it cannot be deemed that the injured party’s physical condition was changed to a bad condition, or that a disability is caused to his/her living function (see Supreme Court Decision 2004Do483, Mar. 11, 2004, etc.).

B) Comprehensively taking account of the evidence duly adopted and examined by the lower court and the first instance court, the following facts and circumstances are recognized.

① The victim stated at the police on the day of the instant case that he was written as a negative part, but the victim respondeded to the item (No. 12) asking whether the medical record for the victim of sexual assault was physically damaged, and the written draft submitted at the lower court stated that “I did not have any special treatment at that time and did not feel any inconvenience in living.”

② immediately after the instant case, Nonindicted Party 2 diagnosed the victim as “no special opinion” and “the victim’s wife, but there are three parts of the victim’s wife and three parts of the victim’s wife, and the Ablasas Policy”, and prescribed the cefa(s) three times a day and three days a day.

③ A doctor Nonindicted 2 diagnosed that the injured party’s wife does not need to be treated separately and that the injured party’s wife can be naturally cured, but, in order to prevent future malfa from occurring in the future, determined as above.

C) Examining the above facts and circumstances in light of the legal principles as seen earlier, the above wife suffered by the victim does not need treatment, and does not interfere with daily life even without treatment, and is a minor body that can be naturally cured. Therefore, it is difficult to view that the Defendant’s assertion on this part constitutes injury to the crime of causing rape.

4) Sub-committee

Therefore, the judgment of the court below which judged that the above wife suffered injury from rape constituted injury to rape and found guilty of this part of the facts charged, which affected the conclusion of the judgment, shall not be maintained as there is any error of law by misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles.

B. Part of the attachment order case

1) Summary of the cause of the request for attachment order and the judgment of the court below

On May 12, 200, the Defendant was sentenced to a suspended sentence of three years for a crime of violation of the Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes and the Protection of Victims (Rape, etc. of Minors). The Defendant committed the instant sexual crime on at least two occasions on the grounds that he/she committed the instant crime, and the Defendant was found to have habited by committing the said crime on at least two occasions on the grounds that he/she committed the instant crime, and on the basis of the fact that he/she committed the instant sexual crime on the ground that he/she is likely to recommit the sexual crime, the Defendant filed a request to attach the instant attachment order pursuant to Article 5(1)3 and 4 of the former Act on the Electronic Monitoring, etc. of Location Monitoring, etc. of Specific Criminal Offenders (amended by Act No. 11558, Dec. 18, 2012; hereinafter the same) on the ground that he/she committed the instant crime, the lower court ordered the Defendant to attach the electronic tracking device for ten years.

2) Determination of the immediate deliberation

In this case, the judgment of the court below which ordered the attachment of an electronic tracking device to the defendant is unlawful, and thus, the request for attachment order of this case should be dismissed without further review as to the grounds for appeal, as follows. The crime of rape in this case is not a sexual crime provided for in Articles 5 and 2 of the former Act on the Electronic Monitoring, etc. of Specific Criminal Offenders. Thus, the request for attachment order of this case should be dismissed. Nevertheless, since the judgment of the court below which ordered the defendant to attach an electronic tracking device is unlawful, the part of the case of attachment order of this case is not reversed without further review as to the grounds for appeal.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the defendant's appeal against the part of the judgment below as to the defendant's case is with merit.
