  1. >The draft outline of its revisions, presented on February 3, outlines eight specific factors, each of which would criminalize sexual intercourse in an assault scenario.

    >In addition to assault or intimidation, they include intoxicating the victim with alcohol or drugs, not giving the victim a chance to refuse, scaring or shocking the victim, and taking advantage of status.

    To clarify, the 8 factors in the draft are considered as rape(or quasi rape) by precedents of current law too, they are making precedents into letter law.

    Some people might not like the name of quasi rape but rape and quasi-rape have exactly same punishment and statistics don’t distinguish them, they are equally rape in the government/police statistics.
