Is this sexual assault?
Is it sexual assault to poke holes in the condoms, thereby increasing chance of pregnancy/disease, without telling your partner?

It would be if they transmitted aids or hiv. I am sure that this has been proven in court already.

Re: Is this sexual assault?
I'm asking because a guy (craig hutchinson) has been found guilty of this in NS. In that case, he poked holes in the condoms and his girlfriend got pregnant when she didn't want to be.
However, the question is now being asked about whether a woman who did the same thing - lied about being on the pill, etc - could also be charged with sexual assault. "They" (talking heads, CBC) are saying this could have wide-ranging implications.
I lurk on a mothering board sometimes, it's surprising how many women admit to doing this kind of thing even if they know their partner isn't keen on a child.

Re: Is this sexual assault?
I'm not sure I would use the term "assault" - not sure what I would use "deception" maybe.

Re: Is this sexual assault?
Seems somewhat odd. Its a breech of trust for sure, but I dont suppose there are too many laws that can be brought to bare. If the intent was to cause illness or suffering then I guess its assault. Based on my wifes 2nd pregnancy same rules probably apply for pregnancy!
Without knowing the circumstances at all, on the surface it seems odd to me that a personal relationship issue like this was dragged into the arena of law and order at all, but whaddaiknow.
Surely if kids, or the absence of them from the relationship, was as important as all that then they should have been relying on something beyond just condoms anyway, which are not exactly 100% reliable.
Did the mother have an abortion do you know?

Re: Is this sexual assault?
I wouldn't call it sexual assault as she is allowing the (sex)act to take place, but I would call it some kind of assault/harm.
