摘要

斯里兰卡(SL)的性贿赂(SB)起诉能力归功于法律解释。然而，只有公务员的SB才被视为贿赂，而私营机构雇员的SB则被视为性犯罪，从而完全歪曲了罪行的严重性。虽然解决这种差异至关重要，但将SB归类为贿赂和腐败也同样重要。国际审查和研究建议采用“强迫同意”的概念来解决根据性犯罪法律起诉SB的问题。本研究分析，在SL修改其法律明确将SB定为刑事犯罪之前，在公共和私营部门，将“强迫同意”的法定解释纳入SL的法律体系似乎是解决这一问题的有希望的手段。关键词:性贿赂;性勒索;强制许可;贿赂和腐败;贿赂行为

Prosecuting Sexual Bribery in Sri Lanka: A study on Sexual Bribery and ‘Consent’ of the Victim

The ability to prosecute Sexual Bribery (SB) in Sri Lanka (SL) is owed to statutory interpretation. However, SB of only public servants is considered bribery, whereas SB of private sector employees is considered as a sexual offence, thus entirely misrepresenting the gravity of the offence. While it is vital to address this discrepancy, it is equally important to classify SB under bribery and corruption. International review and research suggest the concept of ‘coerced consent’ to tackle the issues of prosecuting SB under laws for sexual offences. This study analyses that until SL amends its laws to expressly criminalise SB, in both public and private sectors, statutory interpretation of ‘coerced consent’ being incorporated into the legal system of SL seems a promising means to resolve this. Keywords: Sexual Bribery; Sextortion; Coerced Consent; Bribery and Corruption; Bribery Act
