1. Anyone who commits any act that violates the sexual freedom of another person without their consent shall be punished with imprisonment for one to four years as the perpetrator of sexual assault. Consent shall only be understood to exist when it has been freely expressed through acts that, considering the circumstances of the case, clearly express the person's will.
2. In all cases, acts of a sexual nature committed using violence, intimidation, or abuse of a position of superiority or of the victim's vulnerability, as well as those committed against persons who are unconscious or whose mental state is abused, and those committed when the victim's will is nullified for any reason, shall be considered sexual assault.
3. If the assault was committed using violence or intimidation, or against a victim whose will is nullified for any reason, the perpetrator shall be punished with imprisonment for one to five years.
4. The sentencing body, stating its reasons in the sentence, and provided that there is no violence or intimidation involved, or that the victim's will is nullified for any reason, or that the circumstances of article 180 do not apply, may impose a prison sentence in its lower half or a fine of eighteen to twenty-four months, taking into account the lesser nature of the act and the personal circumstances of the offender.
