There is no consent if the complainant id drunk or unconscious, of if the complainant consents and then changes their mind. Children under age 16 are considered incapable of giving consent to adults. Statistics: violence against women survey in 1993 surveyed 12,000 women over age 18. 39% report having been sexually assaulted by a man since age 16, and 5% experienced assault in the past 12 months: sexual assault is an underreported crime. The general social survey (2004) was conducted by telephone, and found that 512,000 canadians over age 15 reported sexual assault in the last year; 2/100 were affected and of this only 10% was reported. Assault victims/survivors: men are also victims of sexual aggression, though much less frequently than women are about 1%.
