Actual question from a Cambridge University law exam (I'm guessing 2 accounts of rape and homicide) x-post r/wtf

It's a good question for an exam.

Honestly the point of the question is to get people to think, which it does.

Sandra is a psychopath.

Without specifically focusing on England:

1) Depends on the law. Nearly every state/country has laws saying sex is rape if the other person is pretending to be someone the victim personally knows, but not every state/country thinks oral sex on a man is sex. And I don't know if sexual assault laws generally have that imitation person clause. If it's illegal, everyone else involved may also gets charged too if they planned it beforehand (making it a conspiracy, making everyone in the group responsible for an individual's actions).

2) How much someone enjoys it has no effect on consent, no law has a clause like that. Again, whether it's actually rape or sexual assault depends on the law.

3) She'd be eligible to be charged with manslaughter, but there's pretty much no way they'd be sentenced. There's no reason at all to think waxing could kill someone, so it was purely an accident (not even reckless or neglegent), and it's barely a proximate cause. Chances are that nobody would even bother trying to prosecute it.

Sexual assault, sexual assault, assault.

First two are not rape because of British penis only laws.

I consider the second one as assault because I think you have a responsibility to seek medical attention for your own injuries. For that reason I would only attempt to charge her for her actions and not the outcome, but I do not know the law well enough to be authoritative about this.

Rape, Sexual Assault and Manslaughter.

First one is rape because it was an unwilling sex act made possible through deception. Second one is sexual assault because it involved a sex act with a item and not a person. Third one is manslaughter because it was not the intention of the person to kill the other. They would probably charge the person with a higher degree of murder and offer them manslaughter in a plea deal.

edit - Coercion to deception

i honestly don't see why the third one would be homicide, Sandra didn't want to kill Richard.

Why is this in r/MensRights?

What kind of twisted law class is this? Who in their right mind would even make these questions?

What the fuck is wrong with Sandra ?!

jakejw23 · 2013-06-03T21:15:41+00:00

not really relevant but im confused as to just who the fuck Jonny is.

Rape yes, why homicide though?

Maybe criminal negligence but he should have gotten medical attention, that's not on them.

I'm definitely an MRA but not seeing where the murder comes in.

This has nothing to do with men's rights.

Poorly phrased question, as it does not specify the genders of the participants.

Which, if you're in the UK, unfortunately means the difference between a rape and a sexual assault. It's so sad that we still live in a world where your gender determines the outcome of justice.
