Yes, it's a twist, but justified, I think, because some target readers (e.g. in the USA) will simply **not** understand "indemnity" here.

For most Americans (sad but true), "indemnity" is a words that appears in contracts and has something to do with "not being able to sue rich / powerful companies."

By saying "freedom from sexual harm", yeah, maybe some meaning is lost, but I also think there is a **gain** of comprehensibility.

Also American readers will understand that a person free form sexual harm is sexually "free".

Maybe this is not right, but I would be careful about using the word "indemnity" for US clients, unless they are lawyers... and even then....

me decidí por "dignity" porque el daño puede ser físico o psicológico


también diría en forma más detallada:

offences against the individual's (or person's) sexual freedom and right not to be subject to harmful behaviour


estoy seguro que eso es lo que cubre la ley... como se aprecia en su texto

Mejorada:

offences (or crimes) that encroach on the individual's (or person's) sexual freedom and dignity


encroach on es como usurpar que se atiene al tenor de la ley...

Grammatically, "sexual" doesn't modify both elements. To get around repeating "freedom," you could use "liberty" in the first instances. Granted, "crimes against liberty" isn't what you usually say, but it's an acceptable work-around.

(see further below for examples of "crimes against sexual freedom").

Felonies is AE. In BE, they are arrestable offences cf. misdeamenours (AE) vs. non-arrestable offences (BE).

Not sure if the sexual goes with the libertad - the sing. form suggests it does not.

I'm contributing this answer belatedly simply for the glossary (which includes a link to this page), as the same term has come up in an extract from the Spanish Civil Code I'm translating, and this is the version I came up with.

The extract is about divorce actions and runs "No será preciso el transcurso de este plazo para la interposición de la demanda cuando se acredite la existencia de un riesgo para la vida, la integridad física, la libertad, la integridad moral o ***libertad e indemnidad sexual*** del cónyuge demandante..."
