Explore cases like R v Morgan and legal definitions of consent (S74). The Assault By Penetration section (S2) delves into intentional penetration and lack of consent. Sexual Assault (S3) includes intentional sexual touching without consent. Definitions of touching and sexual acts are clarified in S79 and S78.
