NEW CRIME AGAINST SEXUAL FREEDOM: OCCASIONAL OR STREET HARASSMENT

11/03/2020

Known as street harassment. Within this recently created crime, sexual behaviors or expressions are collected (such as compliments considered by the victim as vexatious and that are denounced) that create humiliating situations for the victim.

It is a minor offense, with a penalty of permanent location (house arrest at a different address away from the victim), community work up to one month, or a fine.

Until now it was only foreseen in domestic violence, between relatives, couples or ex-partners
