Estupro virtual contra crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

The research addresses the impacts of the lack of classification of virtual rape of vulnerable people in the legal and social sphere, with specific objectives of classifying the crime, describing cybercrimes and proposing interventions to combat it. The relevance of the classification of the crime stands out, evidenced by the first conviction in 2018, which generated repercussions and initial resistance from the Public Ministry. The pioneering sentence paved the way for other convictions, reflecting legal and technological evolution in tackling this type of crime. The research raises questions about the context and concept of vulnerable virtual rape, highlighting the vulnerability of children and adolescents on the internet. It also addresses the impacts of the lack of classification of virtual rape of vulnerable people in the legal and social sphere, as well as proposing alternative interventions. As a hypothesis, we suggest classifying virtual rape as absolutely vulnerable as a necessary measure to face the legal and social challenges of this issue, considering the absence of a specific criminal type for this type of crime. Finally, this study had the merit of contributing to society, raising awareness among Brazilian families about a topic unknown to many, showing them what appropriate measures should be taken against the virtual rape of vulnerable groups, and working together to prevent it and report him.
