The PP has registered today a proposition of law to reform the Criminal Code and the crimes such as The Flock or the use of substances such as burundanga being considered "rape".

In particular, the popular want to include in the types of sexual assault articles 178 and 183.2 of the Criminal Code, in addition to violence or intimidation, two other assumptions that include "the conduct deliberate and direct as to overturn the will of the victim". The first would be "the joint action of two or more persons", as in the case of The Herd. The second, "the use of drugs, narcotics or any other substance natural or chemical suitable to this end."

In this way, the PP believes that no one could doubt that in such cases "provides for the violation and this shall entail the penalty of imprisonment of six to twelve years old, already stated in article 179 of the Criminal Code in its current wording".

The data of the sexual violence are almost entirely referred to assaults against women or minors, which means "a feminization of fact of the crime", pointing to the popular in your proposal. The latest reforms of criminal law "have dragged a deep dissatisfaction difficult to avoid by the repulsion social that produce these behaviors," says the PP, who was the one who approved the last reform.

remember that the Committee of experts on sex crimes will be discussed next Thursday the design of a new Penal Code that abolishes the current concept of "abuse" and punishes all attacks "against the sexual freedom of another person" without their consent under a heading only "rape and sexual assault".

"However, the lack of leadership from the Government," and to the fragility of the legislature, you had to "give an answer that the society requires sexual crimes", say the popular.

In the current Criminal Code only is sexual assault one in which there is violence or intimidation, to be understood the exercise of violence or intimidation in connection with the consent cringes. The approach of PP is that the numerical superiority and the use of substances "should be comparable to violence or intimidation, and therefore also constitute sexual assault instead of be qualified as up to now of sexual abuse." "If these cases were to occur vaginal penetration, anal or oral, or introduction of members or objects for vaginal or anal, the facts must be qualified as" rape, " the PP.
