Kernrechtsfrage
Whether coercion to perform oral sex under Art. 189 StGB must be sentenced at least like rape under Art. 190 StGB
Extrahierter Entscheid
Oral sex is a beischlafsähnliche Handlung; sentencing must generally be oriented to the rape framework, so the sentence may not be substantially lower than for rape on comparable facts.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the statutory wording does not mandate a fixed one-year minimum for Art. 189 StGB, but the sexual intensity and wrongfulness of coerced oral sex are similar to rape. Therefore, although the lower range in Art. 189 remains formally applicable, the sentence for such conduct must, in principle, not fall far below what would be imposed for rape in the same circumstances.
