c) have been committed against a person who obviously has not attained 14 years of age,

shall be punishable by deprivation of liberty for a term of eight to 15 years.

Article 133. Compulsion to Perform Sexual Actions

Article 134. Illicit Sexual Relations or Other Sexual Actions with a Person Who Has Not Attained 14 Years of Age

Illicit sexual relations, pederasty, or lesbianism, committed by a person who has attained 18 years of age with a person who obviously has not attained 14 years of age,
shall be punishable by restraint of liberty for a term of up to three years or by deprivation of liberty for a term of up to four years.

Article 135. Depraved Actions

Commission of depraved actions without the use of violence, in relations to a person who obviously has not attained 14 years of age,

shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of 300 to 500 minimum wages, or in the amount of the wage or salary, or any other income of the convicted person for a period of three to five months, or by restraint of liberty for a term of up to two years, or by deprivation of liberty for a term of up to three years.


In simple details, sex with anyone below 14 is illegal (unless the perpetrator is below 18). In Prior acts this is where the laws against homosexual activity was located, it was removed and all that is illegal today is sex with someone below age 14 or the use of force, threat of the use of force or other method that clearly shows no agreement by the victim of agreeing to have sex. Homosexual activity in the form of pederasty and lesbians is mentioned but only as type of sexual activity that is illegal if someone is below age 14 or force.
