Minorul – victimă a infracțiunii de proxenetism [Articol]

Abstract

In the present scientific research, we analyse the minor as victim of pimping crime. Among other things, it is stated that in the event that a person commits the action of determining a minor to practice prostitution, paragraph (1) art.208 Criminal Code RM „Attracting the minor to criminal activity or causing him to commit immoral acts” (with the specification that the subject of the crime has reached the age of 18) will be applicable, considering that the application of paragraph (1) art.208 Criminal Code RM is more favourable to the perpetrator, compared to the application of paragraph (1) art.220 Criminal Code RM. It is argued the necessity of differentiating criminal liability in the sense of aggravation in the case of pimping a minor. At the same time, the relevance of the minor victim's consent/non-consent to practice prostitution in qualifying the act as pimping is examined.
