sexual violence
Sexual and indecent assault
Indecent Assault
It is an offence to touch or threaten a person in an indecent way. Groping and unwanted fondling can come into this category. Indecent assault carries a punishment of up to two years imprisonment, and if it is against a girl under thirteen, up to five years.
Rape
Any person, male or female, over the age of 10 who has intercourse with someone who doesn't want them to, and who knows that this person is not consenting or takes no care as to whether she or he does, commits the crime of rape. It's also an offence to threaten or force a person to have sex against their will, or to give them drugs in the hope that she or he will give in. If somebody helps a rapist to find a victim, or assists in a rape (by holding the victim down or drugging them, for instance) they will also be charged with rape.
