Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a partial discontinuance was permissible when the same factual complex was already subject to a penalty order and only its legal qualification was disputed
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A partial discontinuance is only possible for separable factual complexes or distinct acts, not for a single procedural act whose issue is solely its legal characterization.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the discontinuance and the penalty order concerned the same life event, they formed one procedural act. A different legal qualification must be decided uniformly; otherwise ne bis in idem and the res judicata effect of the discontinuance would prevent the trial court from later convicting for a more serious sexual offence.
