O aumento dos crimes sexuais praticados através da internet, e, a necessidade de adequação dos dispositivos jurídicos de combate

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the increase in sexual crimes committed via the Internet and the insufficiency of the Brazilian legal system to deal with them effectively, with emphasis on practices such as sextortion, virtual rape and unauthorized disclosure of intimate content. The main objective was to investigate the adequacy of current legal provisions and propose legislative alternatives capable of responding to the complexity of these crimes in the digital age. A qualitative methodology was used, based on bibliographical research and legislative and jurisprudential analysis, supported by national statistical data. The results reveal the existence of regulatory gaps, low penal effectiveness and a lack of adequate protection for victims. The conclusion points to the urgent need for specific legislative reforms, integration between justice bodies and greater institutional support in order to ensure the sexual dignity of victims in the virtual environment.
