Reform of the sex criminal law: Parliament tightens the screw – a little

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

The councils have agreed on a central point of the revised sex criminal law. The crime of rape now includes the state of shock of the victim.

It is true that ‘no is no’ in sexual criminal law, but with regard to sexual violence, so-called freezing is expressly mentioned. With 118 votes in favour, 65 against and eight abstentions, the National Council approved this central point of the bill on Thursday. The Council of States approved the compromise in March.

In addition, the councils recognize that victims of sexual violence are sometimes unable to express their disapproval when they are in a state of shock (freezing). Courts should also be able to interpret this as a rejection in the future.

Rather, the National Council wanted the “Only yes is yes” model, which propagates sex only with the consent of all involved. The National Council rejected a request from the GLP to stay with it. (SDA)
