It is an offence for a person (an accused) to compel another person (a victim) to engage, or continue to engage, in:
where the victim does not consent to the act and the accused knows, or is recklessly indifferent to the fact, that the victim does not consent or has withdrawn consent [Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 (SA) s 48A].
The maximum penalty for a basic offence is imprisonment for 10 years and, for an aggravated offence, 15 years.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
