Abstract:

Germany has certainly not been an exception when it comes to the reform of sexual crimes and the (re)establishment of a new sexual morality. In the context of an apparent increase in sexual crimes and a possible lack of pro-tection for certain groups, the German lawmakers have undertaken several reforms in the field of sexual crimes, which have led to an extension of the range of criminal behaviours to unsuspected limits. The most important of these reforms, carried out in 2016, in addition to extensively modifying the central paragraph of sexual criminal law contained in the German Penal Code (§ 177 StGB), introduced two new types of offences aimed at punishing petty sexual conduct. This paper is dedicated precisely to addressing, from a critical point of view, these two new typologies, namely, sexual harassment (§ 184i StGB) and crimes committed within groups (§ 184j StGB).
