Rape or not Rape.

[Lonnie]

In Reference to to kittykay143, post below, What in your opinion constitutes Rape?.

[ummmm]

Penetration against your will.

[TOWIE]

Violent forced penetration, without consent.

[RATTER15]

Penetration against your will.

[redcrx]

penetration without consent.

[ojread2]

Rape is not necessarily violent

It is penetrative sex against the will of another human being

[joggerjayne]

We don't need to give our opinion.

It's defined in the Sexual Offences Act ...

A man commits rape if—(a)he has sexual intercourse with a person (whether vaginal or anal) who at the time of the intercourse does not consent to it; and(b)at the time he knows that the person does not consent to the intercourse or is reckless as to whether that person consents to it.

There does not have to be violence.

[exdc]

As JJ states, but penetration of mouth is included. (Only a male can commit rape

[carlton23]

Ditto.

[barry1010]

Women have been found guilty of rape in the UK.

[RATTER15]

Not always violent, the victim may actually agree to sex under the influence of date rape drugs., not violent and she may have given consent.

It is still rape.

Bouncing around on top of someone that is fully clothed in a sexual manner is probably sexual assault not rape!

[exdc]

Sorry, just to confirm, this is the correct wording (changed in 2003)

Rape.

(1)a person (A) commits an offence if—.

he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,.

B does not consent to the penetration, and.
A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

[exdc]

Hi barry,

A woman can not commit Rape, but can commit penetration offences, such as Sexual Assault by Penetration etc.

[joggerjayne]

exdc ...

Yes, you're right.

=0)

[barry1010]

.....a woman can be charged with, or convicted of rape as a secondary party. For example, a woman may be convicted of rape where she facilitated (helped) a man who has raped another person.

i'm fresh on this as I've just finished jury service and this was one of the counts on the indictment. this women had said she woke up and the defendant was on top of her, having sex with her. This constitutes rape as it was penetrative sex without her given consent.

as exdc posts, this is how is appeared on the indictment;
'B does not consent to the penetration, and.
A does not reasonably believe that B consents.'

[BagPussAA]

So if a woman has sex with a man against his consent, what is that called if there is no penetration.... and yes i am anticipating the jokes but it is a serious query!

[AlBags]

Causing Sexual Activity Without Consent?

[exdc]

Good question BagpussAA and as Albags has stated its Causing Sexual Activity Without Consent (Sec 4 Sexual Offences Act 2003). This offence covers situations where, for example victim is forced to carry out a sexual act involving their own person, such as to engage in sexual activity with the offender e.g. woman forces a man to penetrate her.

[Paul22118]

Rape is the insertion of errect penis in an orifice ie any hole's a goal. No violence needed but must not be consensual.
