Problematic issues of the application of Articles 134 and 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and possible solutions
This article analyzes the signs of crimes that are provided for by Articles 134 and 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The problematic issues of the application of these articles, as well as the distinction, are considered. Proposals for improving the criminal law regarding non-violent crimes against minors have been proved. The concepts of "lecherous actions" and "other actions of a sexual nature" are considered and the demarcation signs are highlighted. A proposal has been determined to make an addition to the disposition of Art. 134 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with the phrase “and other actions of a sexual nature”, thus only sexual actions that will be committed without contact with the injured party will be referred to as depraved actions.
