Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant abused a situation of distress under Art. 193 CP by exploiting drug-addicted prostitutes who needed money.
Solution extraite
Yes. He knowingly exploited the victims' urgent need for money and their precarious drug-dependent situation to obtain sexual acts they would not otherwise have accepted.
Motifs extraits
Distress under Art. 193 CP is a victim condition the offender exploits; it is enough that he takes advantage of a precarious situation and obtains consent that would not have been given otherwise. The cantonally found facts showed conscious exploitation of prostitutes needing heroin money for degrading sexual acts.
