So let us look at the problems in welfare law exposed by Dogani and at the 'Dogani Act' passed to fix them. Rape was in principle an offense prosecutable only on complaint, meaning a crime that can be prosecuted only if the victim or another person specified by law files a complaint. The flaw is that young victims or victims with disabilities have almost no ability to file a complaint themselves. Without a suitable guardian, victims find it hard to obtain redress and offenders go unpunished. There was also a statute of limitations, so cases where time had run out could not be punished. And because sentences for sexual assault were light compared with violent crimes such as murder, offenders tended to take it lightly.

To overcome these problems, the 'Dogani Act' was passed. The amendment was debated and passed by the National Assembly and took effect on November 17, 2011. Under the amended law, minimum sentences for raping disabled people and children under 13 were sharply raised to 7 and 10 years, with life imprisonment as the maximum. The statute of limitations for rape of disabled women and children under 13 was also abolished. In addition, if the head or staff of a care or education facility for disabled people rapes a disabled person, the sentence is increased by up to one half. The provision that had been the basis for lenient sentences in sex crimes against disabled people, recognizing rape only when the victim was 'unable to resist,' was also removed. The old law described offenders as 'a person who has sexual intercourse with a woman or commits indecent acts on a person by taking advantage of a state of inability to resist due to physical or mental disability,' but this was changed to 'a person who commits rape against a woman with a physical or mental disability.' From August 2012, principals, teachers and others who sexually molest minors by abusing their position are also punished regardless of the victim's wishes.

However, this legislation is said to lack practical effect. As the sentences for sex crimes against disabled people rose under the amended law, the victim's burden of proof grew heavier, and in practice victims are required to give specific and precise testimony.

To add: the so-called Dogani Act, an amendment to the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, passed the National Assembly on October 28, 2011 and took effect on November 17. Rape of a disabled person is punished by life imprisonment or at least seven years, and rape of a child under 13 by life imprisonment or at least ten years; the statute of limitations was removed and the inability-to-resist requirement deleted. The complaint requirement the paper criticizes was abolished for sex crimes in general from June 19, 2013. The Inhwa School victims' claims for state compensation were dismissed by the Seoul Central District Court on September 30, 2014.
