The Master's thesis draws attention to the influence of emotions and public opinion in the regulation of the sexual criminal law system. The thesis deals with blanket norms, which in most cases are not problematic. However, the lack of the definition of the concept of children as the central concept of sexual offenses against children does not seem justified. The following section highlights some of the systemic shortcomings of the special section of the KZ-1 and describes the doctrine of the absolute consenting (in)ability of a child, closely linked to the issue of the harmfulness of sexual contact between a child and an adult. It is concluded that state intervention is undoubtedly legitimate in cases involving prepubertal children and adolescents with insufficient understanding of sexuality and its consequences. Therefore the idea of assessing the consenting inability of a child in each individual case is shown as ideal, which proves unfeasible in practice. The thesis further studies the prevalence of sexual abuse of children and addresses its individual incrimination and the familiarization of children with (foreign) sexuality in KZ-1. The following chapters lead to the findings that the detection of child sexual abuse is most difficult with very young children, who do not yet understand sexual intercourses, and that the internet plays a key role in most child sexual abuse cases. In addition, essential international documents and international cooperation in the fight against child and adolescent sexual abuse within the ICSE database is presented.
