How come sexual assault is one of hardest crime to prosecute vs every other crime?
In: 2253
If someone is shot or stabbed, we know that something illegal likely happened. However, with sexual assault, (say date rape) the same thing could have happened and been a perfectly legal act of two people wanting to have sex together. The difference is the intent of one of the parties. One can lie about a lack of consent to police after the fact, or not reasonably communicate consent to the other person….all defenses to sexual assault.
