  2. Alcohol & Sexual Assault/ Rape Rape is now classified as penetration by the penis of somebody’s vagina, anus or mouth, without their consent. Rape can be committed against men or women,but since it involves penile penetration it is only committed by men. Sexual Assault covers any kind of intentional sexual touching of somebody else without their consent. It includes touching any part of their body, clothed or unclothed, either with your body or with an object. Administering a substance with intent isa separate offence to give someone any substance – for instance spiking their drink – without their consent, and with the intention of stupefying them so that sexual activity can take place.

  3. Alcohol & Sexual Assault/ Rape “A person consents if s/he agrees by choice and has the freedom and capacity to make that choice.” Sexual Offences Act, section 74. Now, if a defendant in court wants to claim they believed the other person was consenting, they will have to show they have reasonable grounds for that belief. Until now, if a defendant could prove they honestly believed consent had been given – however unreasonable their belief was – they would have been acquitted.
