摘要: | 「性」在近代社會已不是單純為了繁衍後代之生物功能,現今兒童及少年受惠於網路與智慧型手機等資訊產品,可輕易知悉性知識,且性觀念早熟,如何在尊重兒少性自主權與保護兒少身心發展間取得平衡,並釐清過往立法者在與兒少性交猥褻罪規範上是否仍符合當今社會發展情形,自有討論之必要。與兒少性交猥褻罪既歸屬於妨害性自主罪章,其保護法益自有包含性自主權,惟刑法對於兒少之性相關行為,所欲保護之利益亦會隨著社會變遷產生調整,縱使以性自主權為核心,仍有衍生其他保護法益的空間。
因此,本文首先從性自主權為開端,探討為了保護兒少的性自主權成長,現行設立了那些性保護相關規範,以維護兒童及少年尚在萌芽的性自主權成長不受侵害。接著,進入本文之核心,透過探討與兒少性交猥褻罪之法律沿革、保護法益與適用情況等法律要件適用問題,說明與兒少性交猥褻罪的保護方向及適用現況,並針對與兒少性交猥褻罪之保護法益再行建構。繼而說明從尊重兒少性自主權與保護兒少身心發展的角度切入,現行與兒少性交猥褻罪可能產生的癥結點,並以之認為其仍有修正之空間,另一併討論與之關聯密切的刑法第227條之1規定,以強化對兒童與少年性自主權及身心發展之保護。再者,與兒少性交猥褻罪不免與其他性犯罪互有關聯,本文將針對競合適用上相關問題為探討。最後於本文文末,給予結論,並提出對於刑法第227條與兒少性交猥褻罪以及刑法第227條之1之建議。
In modern society, 'sex' no longer solely serves as a biological function for reproduction. Nowadays, children and adolescents benefit from information products like the internet and smartphones, easily accessing sexual knowledge. As their understanding of sex develops early, balancing the respect for minors' right of sexual autonomy and safeguarding their mental and physical development becomes crucial. It's necessary to reassess whether past legislation regarding child sexual intercourse and obscenity aligns with present societal developments. Moreover, the offenses of child sexual intercourse and obscenity are categorized under sexual offenses chapter in the Criminal Law that interfere with sexual autonomy. The legal interests therein inherently encompass the right to sexual autonomy. their legal interests inherently encompass right of sexual autonomy. adjustments in the protection of interests within the Criminal Law concerning minors' sexual behavior may evolve with societal changes. Even though sexual autonomy stands at the core, there is still room for the emergence of other legal interests.
Therefore, this paper begins by discussing right of sexual autonomy and then explores the establishment of protective norms to prevent infringement on minors' right of sexual autonomy growth. It proceeds by discussing the legal evolution, legal interests, and application scenarios of child sexual intercourse and obscenity, elucidating the direction and current application of protection concerning these offenses and reconstructing the protective interests associated with them. Subsequently, it highlights potential conflicts in current laws concerning minors' right of sexual offenses from the perspective of respecting their right of sexual autonomy and protecting their physical and mental well-being. This suggests the need for potential amendments. Additionally, it addresses the provision of Article 227-1 in Criminal Law, which aims to strengthen the protection of minors' right of sexual autonomy and development. Recognizing the interconnectedness with other sexual offenses, the paper explores the issues related to the concurrent application of these offenses. Finally, the paper concludes by proposing suggestions and recommendations regarding Article 227 in Criminal Law, which addresses child sexual intercourse and obscenity, as well as Article 227-1 in Criminal Law. |
