Sexual Assault and Consent

Consent means agreement. The law says that a sexual act without the free and informed consent of both partners can be a sexual assault.

In some situations, a person’s consent is not valid. In the eyes of the law, it’s as though the person did not consent.

The law sets the minimum age for consenting to a sexual activity.

Reporting Sexual Assault

Is there a time limit for taking an aggressor to court for sexual assault? Who takes the aggressor to court? Does the victim have to hire a lawyer? The answers are different for civil and criminal cases.

The criminal court process can be difficult for victims. So, the law gives them special rights to ensure they play a role in court cases against their aggressors.
