How can consensual sex be assault? Even in the UK?
- loeg 14y agoThe same way as in this case… sex under false pretenses is not consensual; i.e., it is sexual assault / rape. An example of this might be pretending to be someone's wife to sleep with him. While this might appear consensual to you, this is sexual assault because the victim may have chosen not to consent if he had been given the truth at the time of the assault.
- mootothemax 14y agoHow can consensual sex be assault? Even in the UK? Assange is alleged to have had sex with one of the women whilst she was sleeping[1]. That is very much considered rape in the UK. [1] http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange-q-and-a http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange-q...
