LA DIFUSIÓN NO CONSENTIDA DE CONTENIDO ÍNTIMO COMO DELITO EN COLOMBIA COMPARADO CON MÉXICO Y ARGENTINA

Abstract

Sexual cybercrimes have alarmingly increased among young people, who are increasingly exposed to violations of their integrity and reputation through social networks and the internet. Although these actions can have serious consequences for victims, the Colombian Penal Code only addresses them as "defamation by deed," leaving legal gaps that limit real protection for those affected. This article presents a comparative analysis between Colombia's criminal legislation and Mexico’s regulations (Olimpia Law) and Argentina’s (Belén Law), evaluating their approach to the non-consensual dissemination of intimate content and examining how these guidelines might be adapted to the Colombian context, giving special attention to the consequences of these legal gaps and their impact on effective victim protection, in accordance with the guiding rules of Colombian criminal law.
