„protection of the rights and freedoms of others, when meaning the safeguarding of the moral interests and
welfare of certain individuals or classes of individuals who are in need of special protection for reasons such as lack

„The overall function of the criminal law in this field is, in the words of the Wolfenden report (...), to preserve
public order and decency [and] to protect the citizen from what is offensive or injurious. Furthermore, this necessity

quote the Wolfenden report once more - to provide sufficient safeguards against exploitation and corruption of
others, particularly those who are specially vulnerable because they are young, weak in body or mind,
inexperienced, or in a state of special physical, official or economic dependence" (Dudgeon 1981, § 49).
