Prohibit Sexual Act Without Consent
Summary
Under current law, sexual assault can be committed by means of sexual intrusion or penetration when the actor causes submission of the victim by means sufficient to cause submission against the victim's will. The act changes that element to when the actor causes sexual intrusion or sexual penetration knowing the victim does not consent. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
