嫖宿幼女罪的法理思考

On Crime of Prostituting with Girls under the Age of Fourteen

案例分析发现嫖宿幼女罪判处的刑罚一般来说比强奸罪重。因此,反对嫖宿幼女罪的民众认为该罪比强奸罪判处的刑罚更轻的观点是不成立的。嫖宿幼女罪所存在的问题是逻辑上的,该罪无法回答未满14周岁的幼女究竟有没有同意性交的能力。此外,嫖宿幼女罪会遗漏不明知对方未满14周岁的行为人。解决办法是认可14周岁以下的幼女无论在何种情况下,都没有同意性交的能力,行为人与之发生性关系都构成强奸罪。

Case analysis shows that the penalty of crime of prosituting with girls under the age of fourteen is heavier than that of the crime of rape. Therefore, the views of those who believe the penalty is light and oppose to apply it are disproved. The differences in opinions focus on that the penalty can not define whether girls under the age of fourteen have the behavioral competence to decide their sextual act or not. Besides, it may neglect the fact that the doer do not know the girls involved are under the age of fourteen. One of the solutions is to charge the doer crime of rape under any circumstances so long as he goes whoring with girls under the age of fourteen.
