Annotation: The purpose of this article is to analyse the existing legal regulation of acts that are part of the crime under Art. 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in the criminal legislation of foreign countries. This analysis is aimed at improving Russian legislation in terms of counteracting the commission of these crimes. The author outlines the problem of qualifying lecherous actions both in Russian and foreign legislation. The category of “lecherous acts” in the understanding of Russian legislation and its correlation with similar acts in foreign countries has been investigated. The legislative and practical experience of England, Spain and France in this area is analysed, the advantages and disadvantages of the legal regulation of lecherous actions are highlighted. Positive experience is presented as proposals for optimising Russian legislation providing for liability for lecherous acts, it is proposed to give a legal assessment of the acts provided for Art. 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, committed with the use of telecommunication networks by persons who are legal representatives of minors, as well as persons whose job responsibilities include providing care, upbringing and rendering educational services, since the commission of a crime under Art. 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in these conditions is a greater public danger.
