WHAT CONSTITUTES RAPE? TUNE INTO LAW EXPRESS THIS WEEKEND

Rape is a commission of unlawful sexual intercourse or unlawful sexual intrusion. Historically, rape was defined as unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman against her will. The essential element of the crime were sexual penetration, force and lack of consent.

Women who were raped were expected to have physically resisted to the utmost of their powers or their assailant would not be convicted of rape. Additionally, a husband could have sex with his wife against her will without being charged with rape. Beginning of the 1970s, state legislators and courts expanded and redefined the crime of rape to reflect modern notions of equality and legal property.
