A man had penile/vaginal intercourse with a woman who consented, but she revoked consent after initial penetration and he did not stop when asked. This is rape, true or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only If Force Used
• D. Depends on Timing

Answer: (A)

Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and ongoing consent is required for each act. In this scenario, there was initial permission, but after initial penetration the woman revoked her consent and asked him to stop, yet he continued. That means there was no consent at the moment of the continued intercourse, so the act is non-consensual and qualifies as rape. The statement is true because continuing after consent has been withdrawn is not allowed.
