攝錄、散布性影像行為之刑法規制

Criminal Regulation of Recording or Distributing Sexual Images and Videos

本文旨在檢討新修刑法第319條之1至第319條之3對於性影像之刑法保護。作為與刑法新修攝錄、散布性影像處罰規定之比較素材，本文介紹日本復仇式色情防止法之規定，藉由立法目的、保護法益、行為客體與行為態樣之探討，來輔助新法之檢討。
本文提出3個問題意識：（1）新法第319條之1以下所謂的「性影像」保護之刑法規制，是否只要客體符合第10條第8項性影像之定義，即應予以保護？是否所有的性影像都是值得刑法加以保護的對象？（2）攝錄、散布2種行為態樣對於性隱私侵害此一法益而言，其各自的意義及關係為何？（3）二次散布行為是否應予處罰？本文嘗試藉由隱私此一保護法益之探討，釐清具有刑法保護必要性之行為客體「性影像」之性質，並聚焦於攝錄、散布2種行為態樣於隱私保護上的意義，來回答上述問題。

This study aims to review the criminal law protection for sexual images or videos in Articles 319-1 to 319-3 of the newly revised Criminal Law.
Recently, revenge porn has entered our everyday lives, causing privacy and emotional damage to many victims. Perhaps not surprisingly, most of the victims are women. The perpetrator coerces the victim with sexual images or videos, controls their actions, and demands sexual intercourse or property. The victim suffers damage, but is afraid to call the police because the sexual image is still in the hands of the perpetrator. In order to deal with this social problem, Taiwan criminalizes such behaviors as recording or distributing sexual images or videos, and takes related measures to seek to delete or remove the sexual images and videos from the internet. This article focuses on the criminalization of recording or distributing sexual images or videos. As a comparison material, this research introduces the provisions of Japan’s Revenge Porn Prevention Act, and discusses the object of the act, legal interests, and illegal behavior patterns.
In this article, three questions are raised: (1) Under Article 319-1, shall we provide protection for all ''sexual images or videos'' as long as the sexual images or videos meet the definition of sexual images or videos in Paragraph 8 of Article 10? Are all sexual images or videos worthy of protection by criminal law? (2) What is the relation between the two illegal behaviors of video record and distribution concerning the protection of legal interests such as sexual privacy and secret infringement? (3) Should secondary distribution be punished?
In order to answer the above questions, this article discusses the protection of privacy as a legal interest, confirms the nature of sexual images or videos that are necessary for criminal law protection, and focuses on the significance of recording and distributing punishment in privacy protection.
