About this statute

Kapitlet gäller tillämpningsområdet för finsk straffrätt. Finnish law applies to certain acts committed abroad even if the place where they were committed does not punish them. The right to prosecute certain sexual offences against children expires only when the victim reaches a specified age. Punishment for offences covered by 1 § 5 mom. may not be imposed once the stated time limit has expired and 10 years have passed since the affected person turned 28 or 23. It is forbidden to distribute obscene realistic or lifelike images or recordings showing children, violence, or sexual intercourse with animals.
