单词 | sexual offence |
释义 | sexual offencesexual offencea person (A) commits an offence if he intentionally touches another person (B), the touching is sexual, B does not consent to the touching, and A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

Where B is under 13 there is a separate analogous offence but consent is no defence at all (Sexual Offences Act 2003). If there is penetration see ASSAULT BY PENETRATION; if there is penetration by the penis see RAPE. See also CAUSING SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITHOUT CONSENT. |
