On the Concept and Content of Sexual Freedom and Sexual Inviolability as Objects of Sexual Offences
УДК 343.54 ББК 67.408.113
Abstract
The article concentrates on the study of the content of the concepts of «sexual freedom» and «sexual inviolability» as objects of a group of crimes defined in Chapter 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Sexual freedom is described as a concept that has two aspects - freedom of self-determination and freedom from violence. As components of the freedom of self-determination in sexual relations, the following are proposed: the right to choose a sexual partner and the number of such, the types of sexual activities permissible for a given moment, time intervals and the place of having a sexual relation with a specific person or persons. The decision on the feasibility of such opportunities is valid at a particular moment in time and can be changed at any time at the will of the person. A new author's rationale has been proposed for recognizing sexual inviolability for several age groups of persons under 16 years of age, as well as for all persons in a helpless situation. Some contradictions between the norms of the family law and criminal legislation of the Russian Federation are noted, which can be overcome by their systematic interpretation in conjunction with each other. Arguments are proposed against criticism of the content of the explanatory note to Art. 134 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The signs for recognition of persons suffering from mental illness, as well as persons in an unconscious state with sexual inviolability are given. The issue of the object of sexual offences committed by homosexual acts is considered. The author proposes the concept of the advanced legal status of such acts based on a systematic analysis of the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
