Summary/Abstract: In the practical application of the crime of rape, as a basic crime that protects the sexual integrity of man, there were different views on certain elements of this crime that led to different interpretations and applications of this incrimination. Most often, the difference referred to the interpretation of the element of coercion, and after the introduction of a new concept of the crime of rape in our criminal legislation, differences also occur in terms of interpretation of "other sexual acts" or "equal sexual acts". The author cites relevant examples from case law, emphasizing that the views of case law on these issues are slowly approaching international standards in the field of protection of human sexual integrity.
