Unlawful Sexual Intercourse

UNLAWFUL SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. The satisfaction of sexual need is prosecuted by law in various cases. The Criminal Code of the RSFSR provides for such cases in Articles 150-154. The law defines measures of social protection for persons who have infected another person with a venereal disease, if the infecting person knew about the presence of this disease in himself, and the sexual intercourse, which resulted in infection, will therefore be unlawful (Article 150 of the Criminal Code). The law prosecutes sexual intercourse with persons who have not reached sexual maturity, accompanied by corruption or satisfaction of sexual passion in perverted forms (Article 151 of the Criminal Code); sexual intercourse with the use of physical violence or other coercion (see Rape). The Criminal Code also holds responsible for the satisfaction of sexual passion in the form of pedophilia (of both participants) (Resolution of the Presidium of the CEC USSR of 7/III 1934) and provides for incest, i.e., sexual intercourse with ascending and descending relatives or collateral relatives in the second degree (brother, sister). The law prosecutes not only sexual intercourse, but also so-called "indecent acts", in which the satisfaction of sexual passion is not achieved through sexual intercourse, but by various manipulations of the sexual organs, when indecent acts were committed under certain circumstances provided for by law, for example, with young children, minors (Article 152 of the Criminal Code). For the recognition of the act of sexual intercourse in a legal sense, it is sufficient only for the introduction of the male sexual organ. In forensic medical examinations concerning unlawful sexual intercourse, the expert must establish not only the fact of sexual intercourse, but also give his opinion on the circumstances under which the sexual intercourse or indecent act was committed, as well as to clarify the consequences that resulted from the sexual act (infection with venereal disease, etc.).
