Summary/Abstract: The current Penal Code criminalizes in Chapter VIII, in a new vision, the crimes against sexual freedom and integrity, a conception aligned to the reglementations existent in the various European codes, regarding the protection of the social relations included in this category.In the context of recent entry into force of the new Criminal Code, in this paper we proposed a summary analysis of the offence of sexual intercourse with a minor incriminated as it is now, by a comparative examination reported to the previous reglementation.Undoubtedly, this crime constitute one of the serious crimes that can be committed against a person, considering that the passive subject is a minor, and at this age the person does not have enough strength to defend himself from the assailant. We also need to consider other issues, such as loosing innocence by beginning sexual life at an early age can have serious consequences for physical and mental development of the minor.
