Discussion

Qualified Seduction
Qualified seduction is committed when a person of public authority, priest,
house servant, domestic. Guardian, teacher or any person entrusted the education or
custody of the woman seduced, has sexual intercourse with the latter who is a virgin
over 12 and under 18 year old.

The same is also committed by any person who seduced his sisters or
descendant whether or not she be a virgin or over 18 years of age (Art. 387 RPC).

1
 MODULE WEEK NO.9
The woman as a victim must be over 12 and under 18 year old whose education
or custody is entrusted with the offender who must be with authority a teacher, priest,
house servant or guardian.
The rationale is the trust vested in the offender who committed sexual act with
the woman instead of taking good care of her.
Meaning of a Virgin
The victim must be a virgin. Virginity under the law means "good reputation"
not physical virginity. Hence, in US vs. Costen 34 Phil. 808, the defendant admitted he
had previous sexual intercourse with the girl but just the same the Court says still
considered her a virgin. But in another case, the woman was established to have
previous relations with other men. Thus, the Court says she is no longer a virgin (US
vs. Suan, 27 Phil. 12).
Domestic
A man, a distant relative of the family, secured a board and lodging in the
house of the aunt and her husband with a girl of 14 year old lived together as one
family household. The man is considered a domestic (US vs. Santiago, 26 Phil. 184).
COURSE MODULE

Qualified Seduction of a Sister/Descendant

Seduction of a sister or descendant does not require that the latter be a virgin.
If the woman is under 12 year old, the crime is rape, if the woman is married and over
12 year old, the crime is adultery. If no sexual intercourse attended but mutual
lewdness, the crime is acts of lasciviousness.
Simple Seduction
Simple seduction is committed when:
1. The offended party (victim) is over 12 year and under 18 year old;
2. She is single or widow and with good reputation;
3. That the offender had sexual intercourse with her, and
4. That the same was committed by means of deceit (Art. 338, RPC).
Virginity is not required in Simple Seduction
In simple seduction, the woman seduced is not necessarily a virgin as what is
required is that she must be of good repute. Hence, a woman who was raped before
can be a victim of this crime.
But a woman who had sexual relations with a number of men is a public woman
and therefore is not of good repute (US vs. Suan, 27 Phil. 12).
When Promise of Marriage Constitute Deceit
Promise of marriage to constitute deceit must be the inducement and the
woman must yield because of the promise or other inducement. If the consents merely
from carnal lust, and the sexual intercourse is from mutual desire, there is no
seduction (US vs. Sarmiento, 27 Phil. 121).

Corruption of Minors
Corruption of minors is committed by any person who shall promote or
facilitate the prostitutions or corruption of persons under age to satisfy the lust of
another.
2
 MODULE WEEK NO.9
The same is aggravated when the offender is a public officer or a government
employee including government owned or controlled corporation (Art. 340, RPC).
Child Prostitution - RA 7610
Section 5 - Child Prostitution and other Sexual Abuse - Children whether male or
female, who for money, profit or other consideration due to the coercion or influence of
any adult syndicate or group, indulged in sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct, are
deem to be children exploited in prostitution and other sexual abuse.
a. Promoting or facilitating child prostitution include but not limited to the
following:
1. Acting as a procurer of a child prostitute.
2. Inducing a person to be a client of a child prostitute by means of
written or
oral advertisements or other similar means.
3. Taking advantage of influence or relationship to procure a child as a
prostitute
4. Threatening or using violence towards a child to engage her as a
COURSE MODULE

prostitute.
5. Giving monetary consideration, goods or other pecuniary benefit to a
child
with the intent to engage such in prostitution.
b. Those who commit the act of sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct with a
child exploited in prostitution or subjected to other sexual abuse. Provided that when
the victim is under 12 years of age, the perpetrator shall be prosecuted for rape.
Provided further that when the victim is of under 12 years old and the crime is act of
lasciviousness, the same shall be punishable with reclusion temporal medium; and,
c. Those that derived from profit or advantage therefrom, whether as manager,
or owner of the establishment where the prostitution takes place or at the sauna,
disco, bar, resort, place of entertainment or establishment. (RA 7610 approved June
17, 1992)
Attempt to Commit Child Prostitution
There is an attempt to commit child prostitution under Section 3 paragraph a
hereof, when any person who not being a relative of a child, is found alone with the
said child inside the room or cubicle of a house, an inn, hotel, motel, pension house,
apartelle or other hidden or secluded area under circumstances which lead a
reasonable person to believe that the child is about to be exploited in prostitution and
other sexual abuse (Sec. 6, RA 7610).
There is also an attempt to commit child prostitution, under paragraph B of
Section 5 hereof when any person is receiving services from a child in a sauna parlor
or both, massage clinic, health club and other similar establishments.
White Slavery
White slavery is committed by any person who in any manner, or under any
pretext, shall engage in the business or shall profit by prostitution or shall enlist the
services of woman for the purpose of prostitution (Art. 341, RPC as amended by BP
blg.186).

 MODULE WEEK NO.9
Related Jurisprudence
One who engaged the services of a woman ostensibly as a maid but in reality
for purposes of prostitution and who in fact dedicated her to such immoral purposes for
profit, is guilty of white slave trade (People vs. Isidro, CA 51 OG 215).
Any person who shall promote or facilitate the prostitution of his wife
daughter, or shall otherwise have consented to the infidelity of the other spouse shall
not be entitled to the benefit of the article (Art. 247 RPC).
The law required that the accused and the victim are legally married. Hence,
who surprised his common-law wife in the act of sexual intercourse with another man
is not entitled to the benefit provided for in Article 247.
It is not necessary that the husband sees the carnal act being committed by
his wife. It is sufficient that he surprises them with her paramour under such
circumstances as to show reasonably that the carnal act is being committed or has just
committed (People vs. Gonzales, 69 Phil. 66). The phrase "in the act of committing
sexual intercourse does not include merely sleeping on the same bed (People vs.
Bituanan, 56 Phil. 23).
COURSE MODULE

Neither the phrase includes a situation where the accused surprised his wife
after the act, as when he saw her already rising up and the man buttoning his drawers
(People vs. Gonzales, 69 Phil. 66).
However, when the wife was killed by her husband not at the place where she
was caught having sexual intercourse with another man, the same is considered falling
within the ambit of Art. 247, RPC (US vs. Alano, 32 Phil. 383).
RA 9208 the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003
It shall be unlawful for any person, natural or juridical to commit any of the
following:
1. To recruit, transport, transfer, harbor, provide or receive a person by any
means, including those done under the pretext of domestic or overseas employment or
training or apprenticeship, for the purpose of prostitution, pornography, sexual
exploitation, forced labor, slavery, involuntary servitude, or debt bondage;
2. To introduce or match for money, profit, or material, economic or other
consideration, any person or as provided for under RA 6955, any Filipino woman to a
foreign national, for marriage for the purpose of acquiring, buying, offering, selling or
trading him/her to engage in prostitution, pornography, sexual exploitation, forced
labor, slavery, involuntary servitude or debt bondage;
3. To offer or contract marriage, real or simulated, for the purpose of acquiring,
buying, offering, selling or trading them to engage in prostitution, pornography, sexual
exploitation, forced labor or slavery, involuntary servitude or debt bondage;
4. To undertake or organize tours and travel plans consisting of tourism
packages or activities for the purpose of utilizing and offering persons for prostitution,
pornography or sexual exploitation;
5. To maintain or hire a person to engage in prostitution pornography;
6. To adopt or facilitate the adoption of persons for the purpose of prostitution,
pornography, sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery, involuntary servitude or debt
bondage;
7. To recruit, hire, adopt, transport or abduct a person, by means of treat or use
4
 MODULE WEEK NO.9
of force, fraud, violence, coercion or intimidation for the purpose of removal or sale of
organs of said person;
8. To recruit, transport or adopt a child to engage in armed activities in the
Philippines or abroad (Sec. 4, RA 9208, May 26, 2003).
Adultery
Adultery is committed by a married woman who shall have sexual intercourse
with a man not her husband, and by the man who has carnal knowledge of her,
knowing her to be married, even if the marriage be subsequently declared void (Art.
333 RPC).
Presumption of Marriage
Once, it is shown that a man and woman lived as husband and wife, and none
of the parties denied and contradicted the allegation in the complaint, the presumption
of their being married must be admitted as a fact (US vs. Villafuerte, 4 Phil. 476).
Adulterous Act
The crime of adultery is an instantaneous crime which is consummated and
COURSE MODULE

completed at the moment of the carnal union. Each sexual intercourse constitutes a
crime of adultery (People vs. Zapata and Bondoc, 88 Phil. 688).
Direct Proof of Carnal Knowledge is not necessary
Direct proof of carnal knowledge is not necessary to sustain conviction
adultery In the very nature of things, it is seldom that adultery can be established by
direct evidence, the legal term therefore has been and still is that circumstantial and
corroborative evidence such as will lead the guarded discretion of a reasonable and
just man to the conclusion that the criminal act adultery has been committed, will
suffice to bring about for the conviction that crime (People vs. Dante, of all, CA 51 OG
801).
Concubinage
Concubinage is committed by any husband who shall keep a mistress in de
conjugal dwelling, or shall have sexual intercourse, under scandalous distances, with a
woman who is not his wife, or shall cohabit with her any other place (Art. 334)
Woman's Liability
The mistress or the concubine can be criminally liable when she knows the man
to be married before the commission of the offense.
Conjugal Dwelling
A house constructed from the proceeds of the sale of conjugal properties of the
spouses, especially when they had intended it to be so, is a conjugal dwelling, and the
fact that the wife never had the chance to reside therein and that the husband used it
with his mistress instead, does not detract from as nature (People vs. Cordova, CA GR
No. 19100-R, June 23, 1959).
Sexual intercourse under Scandalous circumstances
It is only when the mistress is kept elsewhere (outside of the conjugal dwelling)
that the "scandalous circumstances" becomes an element of the crime (US vs.
Macabagbag, et al 31, Phil. 257).
Scandal consists in any reprehensible word or deed that offends public conscience,
redound to the detriment of the feelings of honest persons, and give occasions to the
5
 MODULE WEEK NO.9
neighbors' spiritual damage or ruin (People vs. Santos, et al, 45 OG 2116).
Cohabitation
The terms "cohabit" means to dwell together, in the manner of husband and
wife, for some period of time, as distinguished from occasional, transient interviews for
unlawful intercourse. Hence, the offense is not single act of adultery; it is cohabiting in
a state of adultery which may be a week, a month, a year or longer (People vs. Pitoc,
et al, 43 Phil. 760).
Bigamy
Bigamy is committed by any person who shall contract a second or subsequent
marriage before the former marriage has been legally dissolved, or before the absent
spouse has been declared presumptively dead by means of a judgment rendered in
the proper proceedings (Art. 349 RPC).
Parties shall not be allowed to adjudge void their own marriage
The parties to a marriage should not be allowed to assume that their marriage is
void, even if such is the fact, but must first secure a judicial declaration of nullity of
COURSE MODULE

their marriage before they should be allowed to marry again. Thus, it was held in
Wiegel vs. Sempio-Diy. 143 SCRA 499, that there is a need of a judicial declaration of
the fact that the marriage of a person is void before that person can marry again.
Otherwise, the second marriage will be void.
