Three Considerations for consent
Are the participants old enough to consent?
Each state sets an “age of consent,” which is the minimum age someone must be to have sex. People below this age are considered children and
cannot legally
agree to have sex. In other words, even if the child or teenager says yes, the law says no.Do both people have the capacity to consent? States also define who has the mental and legal capacity to consent. Those with diminished capacity
— some people with disabilities, some elderly people and people who have been drugged or are unconscious —
do
not have the legal ability to agree to have sex
.
Did both participants agree to take part?
Did someone use physical force to make you have sexual contact with him/her? Has someone threatened you to make you have intercourse with them? If so, it is rape.Slide4
