Reasonable grounds

The establishing of reasonable grounds is a three step process

Subjective test - Step 1 - Absence of consent
What was the complainant thinking at the time? Was s/he consenting?

Subjective test - Step 2 - Belief in consent
If s/he were not consenting, did the offender believe the complainant was consenting i.e. What was the offender thinking at the time?

Objective test - Step 3 - Reasonable grounds for belief in consent
If the offender believed the complainant was consenting, was that belief reasonable in the circumstances? i.e. what would a reasonable person have believed if placed in the same position as the defendant?
