In the context of modern criminal law doctrine, the normative essence of the“coercion”element lies in the substantial suppression of the victim's freedom of will. However, influenced by traditional ethical conceptions, judicial practice has often adopted a negative evaluative paradigm toward asymmetrical sexual conduct within the family sphere, sometimes even resorting to reverse reasoning that infers elements from the conclusion. That is, it is a priori determined that the act is against the woman’s will, and then it is inferred retroactively that the act meets the“coercion”element. This artificial bifurcation between intra-family and extra-family asymmetrical sexual conduct undermines the doctrinal purity of the constituent elements and improperly narrows the scope of application for sexual assault offenses committed by caregivers or persons in a position of trust. To achieve a unified application of the elements constituting the crime of rape, a normative reconstruction should be pursued through the following approaches: first, strictly limiting acts carried out by persons with special status to those that involve a suppression of will equivalent to explicit coercion; second, establishing a typological model of isolated and helpless situations centered on the victim’s structurally disadvantaged position. |
