Proposition de loi reconnaissant l'absence de consentement comme élément constitutif de l'agression sexuelle et du viol

This legislative proposal aims to redefine sexual assault and rape by establishing the absence of consent as a core element of these crimes. It seeks to shift the legal focus toward whether a person actively consented to the act, rather than focusing on the presence of violence, constraint, or surprise. This change would primarily affect the judicial system and legal definitions of sexual crimes in France, providing stronger legal protections for victims and changing how consent is evaluated in court.
