Question
chapter 12 you decide part 1 - choose your path: are \yes means yes\ laws constitutional? in 2014, california required colleges to base sexual assault policies on proof that \ongoing\ consent was obtained during a sexual encounter. an increasing number of colleges have adopted such \yes means yes\ policies. some say these affirmative consent policies make it easier to determine whether consent was truly given; however, critics argue that they unfairly shift the burden of proof. formerly, the victim had the burden of proving that consent was not given. affirmative consent policies require the accused to prove that consent was given, which violates the principle that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. a wrestler invited a female who was a student at the same university to a house party. both got drunk. they then found a bedroom and had sex. the wrestler claimed the woman was an active participant and gave no indication she did not consent. the woman, however, said that she believed her second drink had been drugged and that she did not consent to sex. she did not report the incident until several days later, so no blood samples or rape kit were collected. lets review a few concepts before you make a decision about this scene. if a rape occurred, what factor would be most important in determining whether the crime would be classified as a class a felony? whether the rape was performed in public how quickly the complaint was filed after the incident how much force was used
In criminal - law classification of rape as a felony, the amount of force used is a crucial factor in determining the severity and class of the felony. Public location and timing of complaint are less relevant to class - A felony classification compared to force.
