Common Attorney Defenses: Reasonable Belief as to Consent

Common Attorney Defenses: Reasonable Belief as to Consent •In many sex crimes, it is a viable defense to the charge if you reasonable believed the other part had consented to the sexual act.
•This does not apply to cases where you are dealing with a person under the age of 18, because even if the minor consents to a sex act, it does not make it not a crime, since they are legally unable to consent.
•However, in a Rape case for a example, if a person consents to having sexual intercourse with you, and you've received no information from the moment consent was given, to the time the act occurred, then it would be reasonable to believe they are still consenting to the act.
•If, for example, the person is unconscious, by alcohol or sleep, then at that point it would be unreasonable to believe that person is consenting to any sex act.
