Art. 152 Schweizerische Strafprozessordnung (StPO) - Allgemeine Massnahmen zum Schutz von Opfern
StPO; 4. Titel: Beweismittel; 1. Kapitel: Allgemeine Bestimmungen
Art. 152 StPO · Allgemeine Massnahmen zum Schutz von Opfern
Die Strafbehörden wahren die Persönlichkeitsrechte des Opfers auf allen Stufen des Verfahrens.
Das Opfer kann sich bei allen Verfahrenshandlungen ausser von seinem Rechtsbeistand von einer Vertrauensperson begleiten lassen.
Die Strafbehörden vermeiden eine Begegnung des Opfers mit der beschuldigten Person, wenn das Opfer dies verlangt. Sie tragen in diesem Fall dem Anspruch der beschuldigten Person auf rechtliches Gehör auf andere Weise Rechnung. Insbesondere können sie das Opfer in Anwendung von Schutzmassnahmen nach Artikel 149 Absatz 2 Buchstaben b und d einvernehmen.
Eine Gegenüberstellung kann angeordnet werden, wenn: a. der Anspruch der beschuldigten Person auf rechtliches Gehör nicht auf andere Weise gewährleistet werden kann; oder b. ein überwiegendes Interesse der Strafverfolgung sie zwingend erfordert.
