#MeToo, seksuele handelingen en functionele afhankelijkheid
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: #MeToo, sexual offences and functional dependence The meaning of #MeToo for the criminal justice system is diverse. One is the reconfirmation that sexual offences also take place in situations of inequality in working relationships. This raises the question how the new Dutch Sexual Offences Bill deals with abuse of power in these situations. In answering this question, this article discusses the Istanbul Convention and the proposed new crime(s) of sexual assault under Dutch law. In particular, it focusses on issues of intent and guilt, and shows that the difference between intent and guilt has become quite vague.
