R v DPP [2014]

Key Points in This Case

• Scenario: The case examined whether the act of ejaculation alone constitutes rape.

• Key Issue: Whether ejaculation without explicit consent qualifies as rape.

2. Outcome:

• Decision: The act of ejaculation alone, without consent, is sufficient for a conviction of rape.

3. Impact and Analysis:

• Clarification of Consent: This decision clarifies that the absence of consent extends to all aspects of sexual activity, including ejaculation.

• Legal Implications: It emphasises that full consent must be present throughout the sexual act, not just initially.
