What exactly does indecency mean?

Hello, obscene and insulting behavior is very shameful and abnormal. Indecent insult is different from rape, but it also causes some mental and physical harm to the victim. The crime of compulsory indecency and insult is clearly stipulated in our criminal law.

The crime of compulsory indecency and insult constitutes the subject of crime 1.

2. Subjectively, this crime is intentional. The perpetrator knows that his insult and indecency will result in hurting women's sexual feelings and endangering their personal freedom, and hopes or allows this result to happen. In this crime, the actor often has the purpose of arousing sexual desire, venting emotions and retaliating against others, but the subjective purpose does not affect the establishment of this crime.

In addition, the harm of obscenity lies in the infringement of autonomy, which is an objective fact judgment and will not be changed because of the subjective purpose or tendency of the actor. If subjective intention is taken into consideration, it will not only blur the nature of obscene acts, but also condone some obscene acts to escape criminal punishment. Therefore, subjective purpose should not be a consideration of this crime, as long as there is subjective intention.
