CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF RAPE BY LAW TO PROTECT MALE VICTIMS
The Issue
I am an active blogger and was writting a news article about Male Rape Victims, checking my facts where correct on the law I contacted varies solicitors and rape crises centers, and found out legally a male cannot be raped by a woman. The legal definition of rape stands as: Rape is a statutory offence in England and Wales. According to the law, rape occurs when one person penetrates another with their penis without the consent of the person being penetrated. If a victim is forcefully penetrated with an object, this is classed as "Assault by Penetration" (section 2)
This does not protect male victims where the rapist was a female, and this should happen!
