What is Sexual Assault? Definitions we all need to know and understand...

CONSENT Sexual activity requires consent, which is defined as clear, unambiguous, and voluntary agreement between the participants to engage in specific sexual activity. Consent must be clear and unambiguous for each participant throughout any sexual encounter. Consent cannot be obtained from someone who is asleep or otherwise mentally or physically incapacitated, whether due to alcohol, drugs, or some other condition. Consent cannot be obtained by fraud, threat, coercion, or force. Agreement given under such conditions does not constitute consent. Consent to some sexual acts does not imply consent to others, nor does past consent to a given act imply ongoing or future consent. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Belief of Consent... The perpetrator's honest, but unreasonable, belief that the victim has consented does not constitute consent. The use of alcohol or other drugs will never function as a defense to a violation of this policy. The sexual orientation and/or gender identity of the individuals engaging in sexual activity is not relevant to allegations under this policy. For reference to the pertinent state statues on sex offenses, please see Georgia Statues in section 16-6.

Let’s go somewhere else.” The Option – Evaluate the situation and people involved to determine your best move. You could directly intervene yourself, or alert friends of each person to come in and help. If the person reacts badly, try a different approach. Full Court Press – Recruit the help of friends of both people to step in as a group. Fumblerooski – Divert the attention of one person away from the other person.
