How Does California Define Sexual Assault?
California law takes a broad view of sexual assault, recognizing that it encompasses a range of non-consensual sexual acts. This includes not only rape but also forced oral copulation, penetration by a foreign object, and any unwanted sexual touching. It's crucial to understand that consent is the defining factor. Any sexual act, regardless of the relationship between the individuals, is considered sexual assault under California law if it occurs without clear, voluntary, and conscious consent.
This means that even if there is no physical force involved, any act of a sexual nature that is committed without a person's freely given consent is a crime. California law recognizes that a person who is incapacitated by drugs, alcohol, or unconsciousness cannot legally give consent. Additionally, consent can be revoked at any time, and just because someone consented to one sexual act does not mean they have consented to all sexual acts.
