Sex crimes in Pasig, as in the rest of the Philippines, are primarily governed by the Revised Penal Code and the Anti-Rape Law of 1997. These laws cover a wide range of offenses, including rape, sexual assault, acts of lasciviousness, child pornography, and exploitation.
Legal cases involving sex crimes are often complex and emotionally charged. It can be incredibly stressful to navigate this process on your own. An experienced lawyer can provide much-needed support, guide you through the legal process, and ensure your rights are well protected. You may need a lawyer if you are accused of a sex crime, if you’re a victim seeking justice, or if you need advice on any related issue.
The Anti-Rape Law (Republic Act No. 8353) has expanded the definition of rape, and it is considered a crime against persons. The Anti-Child Pornography Act (Republic Act No. 9775) criminalizes the production, distribution, use, and possession of child pornography. The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act (Republic Act No. 9208) prohibits the recruitment, transportation, or adoption of a person by means of threat or deception for sexual exploitation. Violation of these laws can result in serious penalties, including imprisonment.
