2010年的白玫瑰運動,揭露我國法院長期對於兒童被害人之性侵害案件判刑過輕、無罪率偏高,不滿的聲浪重挫我國最高法院之威信,致使其裁判理由書受到嚴格檢視。事實上,我國針對性侵兒童罪與美國 Statutory Rape在構成要件上,存有若干差異,其中行為人的主觀意圖、被害人的合意與否、以及強制力使用之有無,均非美國法成立該罪之所問,而年齡差距之規範用以限制羅密歐與茱麗葉條款之適用,則更顯其特色。次就法定刑罰之部分,我國強制性交罪之條文規定,虞有混淆成人與兒童被害人兩者立法目的之缺失,單面側重婦女與兒少之性自主權,導致實務上法律適用之困難;對照下,美國各州刑法則明確強調國家保護兒童少年之立法決心,否認兒童合意性交之法律有效性,並對於觸犯本罪之成年男女一律祭出重典。易言美國法上的Statutory Rape,一律重罰成人與兒童性交行為,於實務上審理此類案件,就調查證據可能遭遇之困境,早有深刻體悟,故而承認兒童被害人之指述乃被告有罪與否的重要依據,並且創設若干兒童傳聞法則之例外。其法理不外性侵案件屬私密犯罪,兒童的語言特性若不先以承認,一旦拿掉兒童指述之部分,被告即難以被定罪。是美國審判實務操作以兒童最大利益為優先考量,傾向兒童語境(state of mind)下欠缺動機之表達為真實,由被告負較高舉證責任去說服陪審團。即兒童作為被害人和普通證人之證言可信性風險有別,非兒童語言一概有受成人誘導之危險,而此項平等保護之意旨於「國際兩公約」中被以清楚闡述。本文研究爰以我國法院裁判為例,探討若干無罪判決論理之疑義外,同時引介美國傳聞法則之例外,冀供我國未來修法及法院審理性侵兒童案件參考。
There were several cases in Taiwan in which individuals convicted of sexually abusing children received what were widely considered to be excessively light sentences or a verdict of not-guilty. This led to the White Rose movement of 2010, whereby judgments were reviewed critically and found to be of absurd reasoning. In fact, the requirements to constitute a forcible rape of children in Taiwan is different from those of statutory rape in the United States. Among these requirements, the perpetrator’s mens rea, consent, or the use of threats, are irrelevant for use in a conviction; rather the victim’s age is the deciding factor in whether a penalty is imposed or waived under the so-called “Romeo and Juliet statute.” In addition, the statutory penalties of sexual abuse in Taiwan’s criminal law seem to confuse the legislative purpose of enforcing the law as it applies to children versus how it applies to adults in the context of sexual autonomy. This issue has led to difficulty in applying these statutes. By contrast, American law highlights the legislative determination of child protection by rejecting the notion of a child’s ability to provide consent to having sex, and the law implements severe penalties. The US has perhaps the most comprehensive safeguards against sex crimes, where the courts have seen numerous difficulties in discovering evidence and combating sex crimes against children in a meaningful way, for example in the case of child testimony and hearsay exceptions. Simple reasoning implies that sexual assault is in a secretive crime, and once a child victim's testimony is not allowed to be admitted, the defendant could be set free. American courts, thus, consider children's state of mind first, assuming a child victim's testimony under the absence of motive makes the accusation legitimate. Aside from any national law, International Human Rights Treaties come into effect within domestic law, in which Equal Protection is instated. This paper seeks to discover some Taiwanese case judgments based on inconvincible reasoning, and further aims to introduce how American hearsay exceptions can be used in trial for child victims in statutory rape for Taiwanese courts' reference.
