Sexual Assault is the intentional sexual contact characterized by use of force, threats,intimidation, or abuse of authority, or when the victim does not or cannot consent. The term includes a broad category of sexual offenses consisting of the following specific UCMJ offenses: rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, forcible sodomy (forced oral or anal sex), or attempts to commit these offenses.
Spousal sexual assault is considered Domestic Violence and will be referred to the local Family Advocacy Program where available.
Consent is a freely given agreement to the conduct at issue by a competent person. An expression of lack of consent through words or conduct means there is no consent. Lack of verbal or physical resistance does not constitute consent. Submission resulting from the use of force, threat of force, or placing another person in fear also does not constitute consent. A current or previous dating or social or sexual relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the accused in the conduct at issue shall not constitute consent. A sleeping, unconscious, or incompetent person cannot consent. A person cannot consent to force causing or likely to cause death or grievous bodily harm or to being rendered unconscious. A person cannot consent while under threat or in fear. A person cannot consent if the subject makes a fraudulent representation that the sexual act serves a professional purpose or induces a belief that the subject is another person. All the surrounding circumstances are considered when determining whether a person gave consent. A person’s previous sexual acts, experiences, and/or history does not constitute consent.
