FASCIOLI CAORSI, Federico. Lights and shadows of the crimes of sexual abuse created by Law No. 19,580. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2024, n.29, e3785.  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 1510-3714.  https://doi.org/10.22235/rd29.3785.

The purpose of this work is to carry out a critical analysis of the three crimes of sexual abuse incorporated into the Penal Code (PC) of Uruguay by the Law No. 19,580 (Law on Gender-Based Violence Against Women). These are the crime of sexual abuse (art. 272-BIS of the PC), the crime of especially aggravated sexual abuse (art. 272-TER of the PC) and the crime of sexual abuse without bodily contact (art. 273-BIS of the PC). In short, the purpose of this work is to determine the scope of each of these criminal figures, for which the elements common to all of them will be analyzed (protected legal property, subjects involved and criminal intent), as well as the particularities that each of these criminal types presents, highlighting the successes and errors presented by this new criminal legislation

Keywords : crime of sexual abuse; crime of especially aggravated sexual abuse; crime of sexual abuse without bodily contact; sexual freedom and indemnity; criminal law.
