R v Kirk [2008]
1. Facts:
• Scenario: V had sex with D in exchange for money to buy food.
• Key Issue: Determining whether such an arrangement constitutes rape or an agreement to sexual activity.
2. Outcome:
• Decision: D was convicted of rape. The court examined whether there was 'willing submission' in the exchange of money for sex.
• Future Implications: The concept of 'willing submission' in the future may lead to confusion with consent.
3. Impact and Analysis:
• Consent and Exchange: This case emphasises the need for clear standards on consent and its distinction from coercive agreements.
