【英文】Suits for criminal conversation reached their height in late 18th and early 19th-century England,where large sums,often between £10,000 and £20,000, could be demanded by the plaintiff,for “debauching” his wife.
A person who has sexual contact with another not his spouse,or causes such other to have sexual contact with him without that person’s consent,is guilty of sexual assault... If he knows that the contact is offensive to the other person...〔譯文:如果一個男子明知其行為會對另一人造成傷害而與其配偶以外的人發生性接觸,或者未經此人同意使之與其發生性關系,那么此人就犯有強奸罪。〕
