Avtorja obravnavata primerjavo ureditev tako imenovanih obprostitucijskih kaznivih dejanj v Sloveniji, Nemčiji in Avstriji, predvsem z vidika zakonskega znaka izkoriščanja. V slovenski kazenskopravni teoriji in sodni praksi se sicer že dalj časa opozarja, da se je sodobno kazensko pravo odpovedalo izhodiščem moralnega prezira prostitucije in da ta kazniva dejanja varujejo predvsem avtonomijo oziroma spolno samoodločbo osebe, ki se prostituira. Kljub temu se pojavljajo težave pri razmejevanju kaznivih in nekaznivih oblik sodelovanja pri prostituciji druge osebe, pri čemer je bistvena prav razlaga pojma izkoriščanja. Dejstvo, da prostitucija v Sloveniji ni zakonsko urejena, samo po sebi ne pomeni, da je vsaka udeležba pri prostituciji protipravna, kazniva pa je lahko zgolj tista, ki izpolnjuje zakonske znake kaznivega dejanja. Pri tem je pojem izkoriščanja treba razlagati v skladu z možnim jezikovnim pomenom in upoštevaje pravno zavarovano dobrino, kar pomeni, da izkoriščanje ne more biti kakršnakoli ekonomska udeležba pri prostituciji drugega, kar potrjuje tudi primerjalnopravna analiza.

The articles focuses on the comparative analysis of the so-called prostitution accompanying offences in Slovenia, Germany and Austria, with a special regard on the criminal element of exploitation. Slovenian legal theory and practice have been stressing for quite some time that criminal law is not sanctioning any kind of moral contempt for prostitution itself but is rather directed towards the protection of sexual autonomy and self-determination of persons engaging in prostitution. Nevertheless, substantial difficulties still exist in dis- tinguishing illegal forms of participation in another person’s prostitution from criminal ones. For such a determination the criminal element of exploitation and its definition are vital. The mere fact that prostitution services are not regulated in Slovenia, does not automatically mean that any kind of participation in another person’s prostitution is illegal. Such a participation can be criminal only if it meets all the required elements of a specific criminal offense. The “exploitation” element must be interpreted considering its possible linguistic meaning and the protected legal good, meaning, that not all kinds of economic participation in another person’s prostitution can alone and by itself be consi- dered criminal. This view is reinforced by a comparative legal analysis.
