Comment on Protesters denounce blockage of EU legislation defining rape as sex without consent

  No clue what the sentence severity is, as compared to rape, but stealthing should probably be considered sexual assault rather than rape. In my jurisdiction, sentence length is identical for both but elsewhere it can vary.

    It’s unprotected sex without consent. Don’t see why it shouldn’t be rape.

      I want you to picture a jury. You have to convince them that unprotected sex through subterfuge is specifically rape on top of convincing them that unprotected sex was had. Why not just skip a step, punish the same, and be done with it?
