Punishment of the crime

No one shall allow any person to repeatedly reach another person in the form of code, words, sound, image, or motion picture that arouses fear or apprehension through an information and communications network.

Nevertheless, at around 14:11 on October 18, 2019, the Defendant sent text messages to the victim B, on the ground that the victim B posted false information on him/her on the website, etc. of apartment houses, on the ground that he/she was unable to use his/her mobile phone at the time when the victim made a telephone call with the victim, and used his/her mobile phone at the time of the victim’s call with the victim, and then used his/her phone at the end of the end of the opening of the call, and from that time until 2:38 on the same day, from that time, the date and time of the crime was stated as “from February 13, 2019 and February 14, 2019” but this is a simple clerical error as “the date and time of the crime committed on October 18, 2019 and October 19, 2019.”

The text messages sent more than 10 times in total so as to reach repeatedly the text text messages causing uneasiness to the victim.
