Lisbon District arrives / Facebook
Even André Ventura said that “who is pedophile should be castrated” – but sex with someone 15 years has not to be pedophilia. Here, it’s likely.
Nuno Pardal Ribeiro was by the Public Prosecution Service of two crimes of prostitution of minors Aggravated, last week.
However, it is no longer a municipal deputy in Lisbon and vice president of the District of Arri.
Concerned is an alleged sexual encounter with a adolescent, who said he had 15 years and that was inexperienced at the sexual level (and this is not a detail).
They will have practiced “mutual” oral sex, and at the end of the meeting the municipal deputy sent to the adolescent a code for a survey of 20 euros, by MBway.
In the reactions to this case, it was clear: “If it was my father, my brother, or someone in my family who committed crimes against minors, I would defend exactly the same Chemical castration for pedophilesor for abusers of minors, as I defend to all others ”
The word “Pedophile” It has been spread to the description of this case, including in.
And it is likely that this criticism is confirmed in court later – but let’s see what the.
Article 171: “Anyone who practices sexual act with or under 14 years old, or leading him to practice him with someone else, is punished with prison for one to eight years.” It does not matter the consent, the will, or who the initiative was – If the minor is under 14, the adult commits a crime of sexual abuse of children.
Advancing a little at age, article 173: “Who, being greater, practicing sexual act with less between 14 and 16 years, or taking it to him with others, abusing his inexperience, is punished with prison sentence up to 2 years. ”
That is, in Portugal There may be consented sex from 14 years. However, between 14 and 16 years oldif it is proven that it was the adult to advance to the act and especially the “Abuse the inexperience” Of the minor, also commit a crime.
The teenager who became involved with Nuno Pardal would be 15 years old. But, according to the prosecutor, the teenager was “sexually inexperienced”.
Therefore, and if the judge understands that Nuno Pardal has really abused the alleged inexperience of the minor, in addition to the accusations of prostitution of minors (article 174), the process also enters the criminal framework of article 173 already referred to (Sexual Acts with adolescents), aggravate the case of the former Municipal Deputy of the arrival; But it’s not yet right.
