Chair: (University of Oxford)

About the lecture

During the last decades, many countries have reformed traditional criminal law on rape and sexual assault that focused on violence and coercion rather than on lack of consent. The German Criminal Code has been changed in 2016, and the German legislature has opted for a 鈥渘o means no鈥�-model. In my presentation, I will focus on the notion of consent in sexual offence law and describe the outcomes of some newer cases. Furthermore, applying a comparative outlook that includes England, Sweden and Spain, differences will be mentioned with regard to the process of legal reform and the content of criminal prohibitions.
