Do rapists have to pay child support?

Unsure of the law in England & Wales, but in Scotland a woman can not rape a man as the law states there must be forced, un-consented vaginal penetration. Anything else constitutes sexual assault which carries a lighter sentence.

So in Scotland it's not possible for a man to rape another man?


WTF am I asking that for? :mad:

It's the same. A female cannot commit rape.

Bum-rape doesn't count as rape in scotland?
 
ah bum rape counts, but still only a man that can do it, you need to have a penis to be a rapist.
Rape (1) A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
...
(4) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.

Indeed, the mens rea is "the intention to have intercourse with the woman without her consent" (Jamieson v. H.M. Advocate)". Interestingly, the law also states that post-op transexsuals can not be raped nor can they rape. This has it's background in history where it was thought that going off with a female and defiling her was of a greater offence to her husband or father than to the actual female. Indeed, it was stated in a court case that the consequences of rape were "the danger of impregnation - the loss of status, - the taint to her family (Sweenie case)". Though of course this is now outrageous and not supported.
The Macra or Macrae case ruled that penis penetration must occur, even if it is slight.
Barbour v. H.M. Advocate (1982) ruled that oral or anal sex does not qualify as rape. This would be covered under indecent assault legislation.

What legislation is that? I assume it's the law that was passed last year, and comes into force at some point this year though I can't remember what date. I forgot about that until you mentioned it. Haven't done any sort of criminal law in over a year...
