Criminal offenses against sexual self-determination refers to the thirteenth section of the penal code in German criminal law . It defines the sexual criminal law in Germany.

Section 174a Sexual abuse of prisoners, those in custody or the sick and those in need in institutions

§ 180a Exploitation of prostitutes
Section 181a Pimping
§ 182 Sexual Abuse of Young People
§ 183 Exhibitionistic acts
§ 183a Public nuisance
§ 184 Dissemination of pornographic literature
§ 184a Dissemination of violence or animal pornography
§ 184b Distribution, acquisition and possession of child pornography

§ 184g Prostitution endangering youth
Section 184i Sexual harassment
§ 184j Crimes from groups

For one section also § 181b supervision of conduct , § 181c Property Fine and Extended Forfeiture and § 184H definitions. Paragraph 175 , which made sexual acts between persons of the male sex punishable, was dropped. Section 179 (sexual abuse of persons incapable of resisting) was omitted because of the expansion of Section 177. Sections 180b and 181 have been dropped because human trafficking is now regulated in Section 18 from Section 232 ff. Of the Criminal Code.

Persons under the age of 14 are not sexually responsible in Germany ; Sexual acts with children therefore always constitute criminal child abuse.

Victims' associations also speak of sexualised violence with reference to the writings of Monika Gerstendörfer and others.
