If a guy was with a girl that was age of consent, 22 and 17, see mentioned wanting to stop during sex. He continue for another half minute to a minute. And he spoke to her later about this and put it in writing exactly what I'm explaining. If there's no statute of limitations in that state for a felony would she have any success in prosecuting? Or rather would this be rape?

Like most legal issues, this depends heavily upon

• the full, actual facts of the case
• the specific jurisdiction's
▪ laws about rape, including the definition of it, esp. with regards to any "degree"
▪ case law
• the locality's prosecutor
• the quality of representation available

If "no" means "no" even when a guy is beginning to orgasm...then guys need to have legal consent forms, I guess, since a strategic "no" could be an elaborate "ruined orgasm" attack..

In my little mind, if you have to ask, it probably is.

From a legal standpoint, if she says at any time during sexual activities and he continues, it is technically rape.

However, proving it is entirely another matter.

@CorvusBlackthorne there is an admittance in writing.

It was almost 25 years back

@Lasher You are 100% at her mercy.

Im dissapointed and concerned with the replies. I suppose it's hard to understand why somebody would hold something in for so long. And then the other person's expected to be held responsible for it after all that time. It just doesn't seem fair. But technically I suppose it is fair.

A sexual assault occurs, the second someone says no/stop, and the other person does not stop immediately. Age and age of consent are irrelevant.

As to successfully prosecuting it, it all depends on the state, county and city.

If they are the age of consent but he kept going then it is rape, just not statutory rape. But if they were from two different states the age of consent defaults to 18.

17? What state are you in?

Lasher · 46-50

@LordShadowfire in the midwest

@Lasher Here in Oregon, it's 18, but it's 16 in Washington. That's led to at least one person I know of being arrested for rape.
