Sexual Assault [(RA 8353)]
- offender (fe/male) inserting any instrument/object into the genital or anal orifice of another [this is counted as rape- so yes females can be guilty of rape under 8353]
- offender (male) inserts his penis to the genital or anal orifice of another person [male-male & male-female rape]

41
Q

notes on rape

A

To be CONSUMMATED, it is not essential that there be a complete penetration of the female organ, neither is it essential that there be a rupture of the hymen. (slight penetration or touch of the labia is sufficient)

  • No Frustrated Rape
  • Yes Attempted Rape (short of slight penetration + intention to have carnal knowledge)
42
Q

What is the effect of the reclassification of rape into a crime against persons?

A

[1]
A rape victim CANNOT invoke self-defense when he/she kills the rapist unless there is a threat on his/her life. Unlike before when rape is still a crime against chastity, the victim can invoke self-defense under the same circumstance since honor is equated to life.

[2]
Marriage extinguishes not only the penal action, but likewise the penalty that may be imposed.

In crimes against chastity, such effect benefits not only the principals but also the accomplices and accessories. (Art. 344, Revised Penal Code)

Since rape is now a crime against persons, marriage extinguishes that penal action only as to the principal, i.e. the husband, but not as to the accomplices and accessories.

Further, this principle does not apply where multiple rape is committed, because while marriage with one defendant extinguishes the criminal liability, its benefits cannot be extended to the acts committed by the others of which he is a co-principal

43
Q

What significant change was brought about in the manner of and the offender in the commission of rape?

A

[provision]
- first form has now been changed to any persons
- the 4 situation contemplated has now been 16 years of age and provides an exception

[pardon]
- now that rape is a crime against persons (not chastity), subsequent valid marriage will only pardon the principal offender and not the accomplices nor accessories

44
Q

What are the qualifying circumstances and the corresponding penalties?

A

46

cousins and siblings

47
Q

A

2 aggravating circumstances outlined in Art 14 RPC

48
Q

What is necessary for the pardon of the offended party to be effective?

A

[Effects of Pardon]

  1. The subsequent valid marriage between the offender and the offended party shall extinguish:
    a. The criminal action or
    b. The penalty already imposed.
  2. The subsequent forgiveness of the wife to the legal husband shall extinguish the criminal action or the penalty, PROVIDED that the crime shall not be extinguished or the penalty shall not be abated (nullified) if the marriage is void ab initio.

This is an exception to the rule that forgiveness by the offended party shall not extinguish the penal action in crimes against person.

49
Q

How should the terms force and violence be construed?

A

[Degree of force necessary to constitute rape]

The force need not be irresistible. It need not be present and so long as it brings the desired result, all considerations of whether it was more or less irresistible is beside the point. (People vs. Momo, supra; People vs. Jimenez, 93 Phil. 137)

When the accused girl stated that she defended herself against the accused as long as she could, but he overpowered her and held her till her strength gave out, and then accomplished his vicious purpose, there is evidence of sufficient force. (People vs. Momo, 56 Phil. 86)

Held: A verbal refusal alone will not do. There must be physical struggle, taxing her powers to the utmost. Thus, mere initial resistance of the offended party in rape cases is not the manifest and tenacious resistance that the law requires. (People vs. Lago, C.A., 45 O.G. 1356)

50
Q

What is “intimidation” in rape?

A

Intimidation must be viewed in light of the victim’s perception and judgment at the time of rape and not by any hard and fast rule. It (intimidation) is enough that it produces fear — fear that if the victim does not yield to the bestial demands of the accused, something would happen to her at the moment or thereafter, as when she is threatened with death if she reports the incident.

Moral ascendancy or influence, held to substitute for the element of physical force or intimidation

51
Q

A

?

52
Q

When is rape attempted?

A

short of slight penetration + intent to have carnal knowledge

53
Q
