Rape

Rape is one of the most serious offences under Queensland law. Section 349 of the Criminal Code makes rape an offence.

Rape includes the following acts, all which must be committed without the consent of the other:

• Having sexual intercourse
• Penetrating the vulva, vagina or anus with any object or part of the body
• Penetrating the mouth with the person’s penis

For this section, a child under the age of 12 years is incapable of giving consent.

The maximum penalty is life imprisonment.
