Yes, the exes consented, but this law, like others, sets limits to legally effective consent. Jim Lane Oct 2013 #160

Although arguably, a less-harsh penalty may increase the chances of conviction. nomorenomore08 Oct 2013 #156

Good! Although I might argue that 'intent' ought to be irrelevant petronius Oct 2013 #19

What if consent was given but then denied? rrneck Oct 2013 #84

The intent element is critical, though jberryhill Oct 2013 #127
