The court found that even if the victims participated in the game, sexual abuse and violations of the Child Welfare Act were recognized.
The court pointed out, "Even though they knew that the victims were children under the age of 18, they ordered obscene acts and sexually abused them."
The court continued, "The quality of the crime is very poor in that there is a high risk that it will negatively affect the healthy growth and formation of sexual values of the victims, who are only 13 and 12 years old." I used it as a means to satisfy my sexual desires, knowing I was my age.”
However, "the defendants have no history of criminal punishment for sex crimes or child abuse crimes, and they are acknowledging the crime and responsibility for allegations of violations of the Child Welfare Act," he said. “He explained the reason for the sentencing.
On the other hand, the charge of sexually harassing Ms. D by summoning D to her residence by Mr. A was acquitted, saying that there was no proof of the crime.
