Abstract
Abstract Sexual corruption is a gendered crime, in which especially women and girls are coerced into providing sexual acts in exchange for access to public services or public opportunities. It has not received sufficient legislative attention, is often partially and inadequately criminalised through a patchwork of laws that ignore the different dimensions of the offence, and its impact on women and girls. This paper examines the legal framework against sexual corruption in South Africa and in several other countries, examining the approaches taken to criminalize sexual corruption and the challenges inherent in these approaches. The paper suggests a new way of defining sexual corruption and proposes a framework for addressing sexual corruption through a dedicated sexual corruption offence and victim-centred reporting infrastructure.
