Police officer acquitted after depositing 180,000 won and going to prostitution business

Mr. A, a current police officer who was indicted on charges of prostitution while he was a college student, claimed that he went there thinking it was a massage parlor, but it smelled so he just left.

In the first trial, a fine of 1.5 million won was imposed after determining that A had engaged in prostitution through a detailed note in the business ledger with Mr. A’s personal information and that he was a ‘good guy’, a deposit of 180,000 won by Mr. A to the business manager, and a text message from the business manager. sentenced

In the appellate trial, the manager of the establishment was not present at the scene of prostitution, so the memo was not evidence, and Mr. A’s identity was exposed at the establishment, so he was acquitted on the grounds that he may have simply given up 180,000 won without engaging in prostitution.
