Garantismo e scopi di tutela nella nuova disciplina dei reati di violenza sessuale

[Autom. eng. transl.] The contribution illustrates the new rules against sexual violence introduced by the law of 15 February 1996, n. 66. Among the most significant changes in the discipline is the reorganization of the crimes against sexual freedom according to the category good of the person, and no longer according to those of public morality and morality, adopted by the Rocco code of 1930. Another of the most qualifying aspects of the reform intervention is the unification of the crime of rape under Article 519 of the Criminal Code and of violent libido contained in art. 521 of the criminal code in the new case of sexual violence (Article 609 bis of the Italian Criminal Code). We also illustrate the new types of crimes introduced by the 1996 reform, which do not have a precedent in the 1930 code: the crime of sexual assault in the group (Article 609 octies of the Italian Criminal Code) and the contravention of disclosure of the general information or image offended by acts of sexual violence (Article 734 bis of the Italian Criminal Code).
