Under our law, it is also an element of this offense that the sexual intercourse was committed without the consent of that other person. Sexual intercourse takes place without a person's consent when that person is deemed by law to be incapable of consent. A person is deemed incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse when he or she is les than 17 years old. Thus, sexual intercourse with such a person is always deemed to be without that person's consent, even if in fact that person did consent. That comes straight from the red book!!!!!</blockquote>
