The History of Violent Sexual Crimes and the Principles of Constitutional Law

Abstract

In my study I deal with the question, what kind of changes the regulation of violent sexual crimes had from the beginnings in Hungary, respectively, how this variable regulation passed to the elementary principles of constitutional law and criminal law. In the light of the principles of constitutional law, I investigate both the questions and problems connected to the changing of passive subject, the concept of intercourse and sodomy, the crime of forceful fornication against nature, the crime against a person who is under twelve years of age, the legal institution of private motion and to the crime of sexual exploitation. I also analyse to which principles of constitutional law the regulation-problems connect, what is expected from the legislator based on this principle, or rather why the given regulation did not fulfil the constitutional expectations, and in this light how the regulation had changed.
