Sounds like this will also help male rape victims.
Only penetrative rape.
Are you sure? 'nonconsenusual sexual contact' sounds like it could cover more than penatrative rape.
Unfortunately the new law seems to only cover "anal, oral, and vaginal sexual contact". So unfortunately that totally excludes any kind of forced envelopment.
What's forced envelopment? Sounds like a thing I don't want to search.
Edit: Is that female on male rape? I just took a little longer to think about it.
It describes a situation where man has an involuntary erection and is forced into traditional intercourse. While most places in Canada/the US recognize forced anal penetration as rape, many do not recognize forced envelopment as rape.
So when a woman puts her vagina on your penis nonconsensually, that doesn't count as non consensual vaginal contact?
I fully admit I could be wrong in this case, but frequently laws like this are interpreted as non-consensual contact to a vagina, making it only enforced in one direction. Re-reading this one it does seem to be attempting to make progress by removing the required penetrative element so here's hoping I am incorrect.
…am I missing something? How can a vagina envelope something without contacting it? Contact deffo happens during envelopement.
I was misled by the article and couldn’t find the law. The APnews explanation is misleading.
Here is the actual law link:
