본 논문은 종래의 간음(姦淫) 개념을 통해 2012년 개정 형법 내용 중 객체가 부녀 에서 사람 으로 확대된 강간죄 규정(형법 제297조)과 신설된 유사강간죄 규정(형법 제297조의2)이 갖는 문제점을 살펴보았다. 또한 법률상 배우자 이외의 자와의 성교행위 라는 종래의 간음 개념을 2012 년 개정 전부터 논란이 되었던 여성으로 성전환한 자 , 법률상의 처 , 남성 피해자 문제에 대입(代入)한 경우에 발생하는 문제점을 확인하였다. 더 욱이 종래의 간음 개념을 유지하는 한, 개정 형법상 강간죄의 객체가 확 대되었다고 해서 기존의 논란이 완전히 종식될 수 없음도 살펴보았다. 이런 점에서 개정 형법의 취지를 제대로 살리기 위해서 간음 개념이 수 정·변경될 필요가 있다. 그렇다면 간음 개념을 어떻게 정립할 것인가? 학설은 대체로 외국 입법례를 기초로 간음의 범위를 구강 ‧ 항문과 관련 된 성적 행위로까지 폭넓게 확대하려는 경향이 있다. 하지만 간음 개념 은 시공(時空)에 따른 상대적 성도덕 관념을 기초로 한다는 점에서 외국 의 입법례를 그대로 수용하기에는 무리가 있다. 또한 간음 개념이 지나 치게 확대될 경우 대부분의 유사성교행위가 간음 개념(강간)에 포섭된다 는 문제가 있다. 따라서 간음 개념을 합리적으로 제한할 필요가 있다. 생 각건대, 간음 개념을 유사강간죄의 유사성교 유형 중 성기에 의한 또는 성 기에 대한 유사성교행위로 제한하는 것이 타당하다. 이에 따라 입법론적 으로 현행 3분류 체계를 취하는 형법 및 특별법의 유사(성교)강간 규정 을 삭제하고, 성적 침해 유형을 간음과 추행으로 2분류하여 성폭력범죄 를 강간죄와 강제추행죄로 규율하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각한다. 그리 고 현행 유사강간죄의 구성요건과 관련하여 첫째, 그 불명확성에 대해 성적 자유의 침해라는 관점에서 그 타당성 여부를 검토하였다. 둘째, 폭 행 및 협박의 정도에 대해서는 성적 침해 유형 중의 하나인 유사성교행 위의 불법을 검토함으로써 그 폭행 및 협박의 정도는 강간죄의 폭행 및 협박의 정도와 동일하다고 보았다.

In a sex offender ecosystem, it is necessary to ensure that rape is applied only to violent breaches of at least sexual self-determination. However, it is doubtful that the Supreme Court may have too broad a range of rape cases in this case. On the contrary, The first and second trial courts seem to be wary of further rape charges. On the basis of this case, it is likely to be the type that corresponds to the sexual compel in the German criminal law. So it would be more appropriate to introduce and punish the sexual compel in legislation if consensus was formed on the need to punish people for forcing sexual behavior. That would also eliminate the need to stretch and punish rape charges. The Supreme Court calls the degree of rape and intimidation the most serious offense and threat. But, it seems that the comprehensive judgment system applies the standards of violence and intimidation of consultation. However, such a comprehensive judgment does not provide a clear standard. Therefore, in this case, the Supreme Court made a different judgment from the first and second trials. However, the main reason why it is difficult to consistently punish sex crimes is because there is a big problem with the current sex criminal law system. As the wrong legal system is filled with diverse legal interpretations, the burden is entirely on citizens. Therefore, it is inevitable that there continue to be disturbance in the ecosystem of sex crimes. The preferred way to fix this mess is for lawmakers to fix the current sex crime system. And the court should try to help citizens form a proper consciousness of norms on sex crimes through a consistent and clear application of the law.

Recently, the scope of indecent act by compulsion has widened significantly. Also, the citizens are increasingly aware that most cases of indecent assault are done by forcible compulsion so, there is no animosity towards the expansion of indecent act by compulsion. However, it is somewhat inappropriate to expand the role of indecent act by compulsion in our criminal law. Because, in our criminal justice system, it is not intended to punish anyone for abusing all sexual harassment, but it is designed to punish people for violating their sexual decision–making rights by mobilizing force. Of course, indecent acts are reprehensible. But, it is necessary to think again about trying to punish indecent acts in the area of indecent act by compulsion. That is why the responsibility of the criminal law can be damaged. In such a sense, I agree with the supreme court decision in conclude. However, there has been a growing social interest in recent sexual assault. And the demand for punishment for indecent assault is on the rise. Therefore, it is a great burden to insist on reducing the role of indecent act of compulsion in criminal law. This paper does not claim to be lenient on sexual assault by reducing the role of indecent act of compulsion. but, within the principle of criminal law, indecent act of compulsion in criminal law should be more rationally applied. Because, criminal punishment is not the master key to solve all crimes. Indecent act by blitz(sexual harrassment) should not be included in the concept of indecent act by compulsion. Thus, indecent act by blitz should be punishable by a separate crime as sexual harrassment. And indecent act by compulsion should just play its own role. as it were, indecent act by compulsion should play its planned role in principles of responsibility of criminal law.

2009. 9. 10. the Supreme Court of Korea made judgement that a transsexual person could be the object of rape, while the Supreme Court did not admitted it 13 years ago. However the judgement does not seem to apply to all transsexuals persons because the Supreme Court needs several conditions to admit a transsexual person as an object of rape. It requires that ① the person should be diagnosed as transsexualism patient by a psychiatrist ② the person should take psychiatric and hormone treatment for quite a long time but no improvement ③ the person should take sex reassignment surgery and have successful external shape of opposite sex organ ④ the person should be satisfied with the new gender and under the constant gender-identity have appearance of opposite sex ⑤ the person should be recognized as a woman(man) by people around her(him) ⑥ the trans-gender identity does not affect any status of other people. But, if the Court requires all of those conditions strictly, there would be few persons who could be the object of rape. In my opinion, if the person has diagnosed as transsexualism patient and took sex reassignment surgery and there are not any intentions to be exempted from military service, she(he) could be the object of rape. Eventually, as many western countries revised the criminal code, the object of rape could cover men as well as women, and the methods of raping should include anal and oral sex.
