Practice question: Title XI – Crimes Against Chastity

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A simple-seduction charge under Article338 establishes the minor’s age and a sexual relationship but the evidence affirmatively excludes deceit and no other basis is proved. The prosecutor says age alone supplies every Article338 element. What is missing?
  1. Only an older reviewer’s age threshold
  2. The expressly required means of deceit
  3. Only the offender’s signature on a school form
  4. Nothing, because all relationships are automatically Article338
  5. Only a financial-loss calculation

Legal references

  • RA11648 Section2, amended RPC Articles337-338, current seduction provisions: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2022/ra_11648_2022.html
