V diplomskem delu obravnavamo tematiko spolnih zlorab otrok na internetu in pravne možnosti za uporabo prikritih preiskovalnih ukrepov.
Spolna zloraba otrok na internetu je eno od področij kriminalitete z največjim temnim poljem, saj predstavlja glavni problem obravnavanja kaznivega dejanja, kako se dokopati do materialne resnice. Naša in tudi evropska zakonodaja ščitita otroke oziroma mladoletnike in v predpisih točno opredeljujeta, katera so kazniva dejanja zoper spolno nedotakljivost, kakšni so zakonski znaki, ki definirajo takšna dejanja, in kazni, ki so za to predpisane. Navsezadnje pa tudi zakonodaja ne pomaga, če takšna dejanja ostanejo skrita, zato utegnejo biti prikriti preiskovalni ukrepi (v nadaljevanju PPU) ključna sestavina za odkrivanje in preprečevanje kriminalitete zoper spolno nedotakljivost otrok v povezavi s kibernetskim prostorom oziroma s pomočjo interneta.
V osrednjem delu naloge smo prikazali tipičen način storitve kaznivega dejanja s tega področja in enega od načinov in postopkov odkrivanja, s katerimi se srečujejo vladne organizacije v predkazenskem postopku. Ker gre za občutljivo področje, ki v veliki meri posega v človekove pravice in svoboščine, vsaka posamezna uporaba PPU pa vzbuja velik odziv javnosti, smo se v diplomskem delu osredotočili na pravno ureditev v Republiki Sloveniji in njeno problematiko odkrivanja, zbiranja in dokazovanja zlorab in nasilja nad otroci (zlasti v primeru spoprijateljevanja storilcev z otroki preko interneta). Pri tem poskušamo predstaviti, katere varovalke je zakonodajalec uzakonil, da bi preprečil nedovoljeno uporabo PPU, in katera pravna sredstva imamo na voljo zoper takšno dejanje, saj se organi odkrivanja in pregona vse pogosteje srečujejo s specifičnimi težavami pri odkrivanju internetnih storilcev spolnih zlorab otrok.In the thesis, we discuss the issue of online child sexual abuse and legal possibilities for the use of covert investigative measures.
Online child sexual abuse is one of the fields of criminality with the largest dark field, since the main problem of the discussed crime investigation is how to determine the substantive truth. Our legislation as well as the European one protects children or minors and through regulations exactly defines crimes against sexual inviolability, statutory signs, which define such crimes, and penalties for them. At the end, even the legislation does not help, if such acts remain hidden, therefore covert investigative measures (in continuation CIM) could be of key-importance in identifying and preventing of crime against sexual inviolability of children in connection with the cyberspace or the internet.
In the main part of the thesis we presented a typical committing of crime from this field and one of the ways and procedures of its detection, faced by governmental organization in pre-trials. Because it is a sensitive area that heavily interferes with human rights and freedoms and every single use of CIM provokes a great public response, we focused on legal regulations in the Republic of Slovenia and the issue of identification, collection and proving of child abuse and violence against them (in particular online grooming case). By doing so we tried to present, which safety measures were legislated by the legislator in order to prevent unauthorized use of CIM and which legal means do we have against such acts, since law enforcement authorities increasingly face specific problems in identifying online child sexual offenders
