BDSM är en grupp erotiska tekniker som blivit allt mer uppmärksammade de senaste åren, ur juridiskt perspektiv genom ett antal friande våldtäktsdomar.

Ansvar för sexualbrott förutsätter som huvudregel att en gärningsperson har uppsåt i förhållande till att ett barn är underårigt men 6 kap. 13 § BrB utgör således ett undantag härtill.

Bland annat fick de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna sin egna legaldefinition, en definition som i efterhand har insetts vara onödigt svårtolkad. Denna uppsats handlar om de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna och dess begreppsdefinitions tolkningssvårigheter. Den förtäckta värdeöverföringen definieras efter In 2005, the swedish capital protection rules were expanded in the purpose to cover more situations.
