'Employment Restrictions for Sexual Offenders' Inspection Results to Be Released Within 2 Months... Enforcement Decree Amendment
Next Year Batch → Inspection Public Disclosure Within 2 Months
Added 'Juvenile Court Referral' to Reward Criteria
Refusal to Pay for Evidence Collected Illegally Reported
Results of inspections and verifications of child and youth-related institutions where employment of sex offenders is restricted will be disclosed within two months of the inspection.
On the 15th, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced that the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Protection of Children and Youth from Sexual Offenses was approved at the Cabinet meeting.
The main content of the amended enforcement decree is that local governments and education offices shall inspect and verify at least once a year whether persons who have been sentenced to employment restriction orders due to sexual offenses are employed or operating in child and youth-related institutions, and disclose the results on the respective institution’s website within two months.
This improves the current enforcement decree, which compiles the inspection results of the relevant institutions and discloses them collectively through the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family’s Sexual Crime Notification e-Service (Seongbeomjoe-alim e) in February of the following year. The amended enforcement decree will take effect from January 1 of next year.
The employment restriction system for sex offenders in child and youth-related institutions is a system that checks the sexual offense records of applicants before employment and hires only those without criminal records, and thereafter reviews the sexual offense records of employed persons once a year.
In addition, the criteria for payment of rewards for reporting sexual offenses against children and youth will be expanded to include cases sent to the juvenile court, in addition to cases where the reported person has been prosecuted or received a suspension of prosecution under the current system. It will also allow refusal of reward payments if the report was made based on evidence collected by illegal means.
