The punitive populism is characterized by the popular demand for increased penalties and inflexibility in the normative criminal treatment of the accused (elimination of procedural and penitentiary benefits). This populism has fallen especially and palpably on the crime of the sexual violation of minors. The hardening of the legal and punitive treatment for the mentioned crime is notorious since in 2018 life imprisonment was extended. In addition, we have the prohibition of the application of procedural simplification through early termination or conclusion for crimes against sexual freedom, which degenerates the criminal process, delaying it, in many cases, unnecessarily. Likewise, the establishment of a life sentence eliminates the judge,s discretion for a proportional and reasonable application. But this has not been enough; the population demands harsher penalties such as chemical ca...

In the middle of the 21st century it is unimaginable that citizens can live outside the law, especially criminal law; however, as a paradigm, in certain cities of Peru it is usual to start a common-law union and a family with 14-year old minors. This assertion is not only notable for the news, but also for the criminal proceedings that are exposed in the judiciary, since this practice qualifies as a crime of sexual assault against minors, a subject that has been discussed arduously and recently in the Peruvian criminal jurisprudence. According to the above, if the aforementioned legal issue was discussed by experts in the last decade, how could the population be required to know about its prohibition and its criminal consequences? The greater number of persons prosecuted for sexual assault against minors alleges ignorance of its prohibition. However, this is an issue that, when brought t...

The importance of the victim’s testimony in the Peruvian criminal process is so significant that it has been addressed by the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru. Plenary Agreement No. 2-2005/CJ-116 established that the victim’s testimony must pass through a filter—truthfulness indicators—to be considered valid evidence capable of undermining the presumption of innocence of the defendant. Plenary Agreement No. 5-2016/CJ-116 reiterates that in cases of violence against women and family members, the truthfulness indicators must be applied to the victim’s testimony. This has subsequently been legalized in the Regulations of Law No. 30364, Law to Prevent, Punish, and Eradicate Violence against Women and Family Members, Supreme Decree No. 009-2016-MIMP, dated July 27, 2016. On the other hand, the right of refusal of the defendant’s family witness is a legal provision with constitutio...
