Abstract

According to 3.1 article of Spanish Basic Law 1/1982, 5 May, in the case of the minor, mature enough, it is up to him/ her to permit intromissions in their right to honour, privacy and personal image. However, according to article 4 of Basic Act for Legal Protection of the Minor, if the intruder is a mass media, it will still be considered illegal, even in the case of consent by a minor yet mentally of age, when considered contrary to his/her honour and interests. In such case the Prosecution Service will take action. Such regulation raises some issues regarding the right to honour, privacy and personal image of the minor, yet mentally of age, particularly on the role of the public prosecutor as guarantee of such rights and the role of the minor’s consent, which we study in this piece of work.
