As before the reform, sexual acts with minors under 16 are punishable by sentences of two to six years, including both acts committed by the minor with a third party and on themselves at the request of the perpetrator.
The penalty is greater if a rape occurs or if the aggravating circumstances described above (among others) occur.
Other behaviors are also punished, such as:
- For sexual purposes, having a minor under 16 years of age witness acts of a sexual nature, even if the perpetrator does not participate in them.
- Contacting minors under 16 years of age via the internet or information technology to arrange a meeting, with the aim of committing any of the crimes described above, or attempting to trick them into providing pornographic material in which the minor appears.
Finally, there is no crime if the minor under 16 freely consented to the act, provided the perpetrator is a person close to the minor in age and degree of physical and psychological maturity.
