猥亵罪探疑

一、问题所在。刑法第237条分3款规定了两种猥亵罪①。其第1款规定:“以暴力、胁迫或者其他方法强制猥亵妇女或者侮辱妇女的,处五年以下有期徒刑或者拘役。”第2款规定:“聚众或者在公共场所当众犯前款罪的,处五年以上有期徒刑。”第3款规定:“猥亵儿童的,依照前两款的规定从重处罚。”根据有关司法解释②,本条第1款规定的是强制狠、悔辱妇女罪,第2款规定了法定刑升格的情节,而没有规定独立罪名,第3款规定的是猥亵儿童罪。对于司法解释确定的罪名,刑法理论上也没有任何异议。

The target of Crime of Compulsory Indecency and Humiliation could only be female.Such actions toward male can't constitute legitimate charges.What actions constitute indecency and humiliation depends on the specific situations.Since its criterion is constantly changing,the contemporary sexual ethics should be adopted to decide whether an action constitutes indecency and humiliation.Female could be the perpetrator of this crime.And a husband commits this crime if he publicly and compulsorily humiliates his wife.Although this crime is an intentional crime,it is not required for an offender to possess a sexual desire.Since the Criminal Code doesn't prescribe a public indecency crime,public indecent action shan't be convicted.
