Definition of consent in sex assault laws varies widely

  1. In sex assault laws, definition of consent varies widely 

    The definition of consent is a matter of intense debate, Is it a definite “yes”, or the of “no?” Legally, the definition varies widely across the nation.

    Erin Murphy, professor at New York University School of Law, said, “”Half the states don’t even have a definition of consent… one person’s idea of consent is that no one is screaming or crying. Another person’s idea of consent is someone saying, ‘Yes, I want to do this.’ And in between, of course, is an enormous spectrum of behavior, both verbal and nonverbal, that people engage in to communicate desire or lack of desire.”

    “It’s pretty telling that the critical thing most people look to understand the nature of a sexual encounter — this idea of consent — is one that we don’t even have a consensus definition of in our society.”

  1. Sex education teacher locked up after filming abuse of girl in his classroom  

    Scott Lynch, a male teacher in Flintshire, Whales, has been sentenced for five years in prison after he took a teenage girl into his classroom after school and engaged in sexual acts with her. Lynch admitted he had fantasies about rape and incest and got her to role play that she was his daughter.

    Mr. Lynch filmed her performing a sex act on him, which continued into further sexual activity in a motel room, and sexual intercourse at his home, and in his car.

    Scott Lynch, who admitted 19 charges, was a former banker before changing careers as a teacher. He was also appointed the head of personal and social education at the school where he was employed, which included sex education and the responsible use of social media.

    Lynch was also a liaison with the local police officer on behalf of the school, but although admitting he had fantasies and a sexual interest in children, he denied that was why he had retrained as a teacher.
