  • Amends the definition of "Unable to give knowing consent" in the Criminal Code to include situations where a victim has voluntarily consumed intoxicating or controlled substances, if the accused knew or reasonably should have known of the victim's incapacitation (but did not provide the substance).

  • Defines "unconscious of the nature of the act" to include conditions where a victim was unconscious, unaware of the act occurring, unaware of essential characteristics due to perpetrator's fraud, or unaware due to fraudulent representation that sexual penetration served a professional purpose.

  • Expands the presumption that a victim is "unable to give knowing consent" to include persons detained or in custody of law enforcement who are not married to the officer or official.
