1. Illegal Sexual Act Act. Under this Act, the defendant is to be considered guilty until proven innocent. Being found Not Guilty in a Court of Justice is to be considered proof of innocence.

1 (a)(i) It is illegal for Person A to deliberately touch any part of Person B's penis, testicles, breasts, or vagina, without unforced, untricked, uncoerced, unpressured consent that has been willingly and freely given, or to have sexual intercourse with Person B, without unforced, untricked, uncoerced, unpressured consent that has been willingly and freely given. Any person under the age of 16 or who is under the influence of any type of drug (this includes alcohol) is to be considered incapable of giving free and willing consent. PENALTY: LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Sexual intercourse is to be defined as any sexual act which involves Person A's penis or vagina touching person B's vagina or penis or bum, regardless of whether penetration is involved.

1 (a)(ii) If Person A commits offence 1 (a)(i) above, but has been forced, coerced, pressured, or tricked (but not simply encouraged) into doing this, then, unless it can be shown that they were willing to commit the act regardless of whether they were pressured, forced, coerced, or tricked, then they shall be punished only with the PENALTY of 1 MONTH IMPRISONMENT. The person(s) who had pressured, tricked, coerced, or forced Person A to commit offence 1 (a)(i) will be punished with the PENALTY of LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

1 (b) It is illegal for Person A to deliberately touch Person B's bum without unforced, untricked, uncoerced, unpressured consent that has been willingly and freely given. PENALTY: 3 MONTHS IMPRISONMENT. PENALTY for repeat offence on a different person: 6 MONTHS IMPRISONMENT. PENALTY for repeat offence on the same person: 1 YEAR IMPRISONMENT. Second repeat offence on the same person: 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT.

1 (c). EXCEPTION: A Police Officer of Sergeant Rank or above (or an Airline Search Officer or Security Officer with an ISAA EXCEPTION PERMISSION CARD), with reasonable grounds for suspicion that Person B is concealing something related to a Serious Crime or potential Serious Crime, may ignore this act OR have Person B remove their clothes (in private), at the choice of Person B. The gender of the person who is carrying out the search must be the same gender as Person B, unless Person B requests a differently-gendered person to carry out the search. Person B must be warned of the search and what it will entail before it is carried out, as well as the name of the Act which allows this to happen (Illegal Sexual Act Act Section 1 (c)). This exception can NOT be carried out on a person under the age of 18 where a parent or guardian is not present, except in an urgent situation. In an urgent situation, the person using this exception may avoid letting Person B choose whether to be stripped or to be touched in a way that would normally be illegal under this Act. If a person under 18 does not want a parent or guardian to be present, a parent or guardian must be immediately outside the area where the search is to take place.

1 (d). SECOND EXCEPTION. The consent of a person who is under the age of 16 IS acceptable if the touching of their vagina, penis, breasts, testicles, or bum is a necessary and legitimate part of training for something (for example, holding a person's bum to support them during ballet class, or teaching the technique of testicle-grabbing in a Martial Arts class as long as it is made clear that this defence is only acceptable in a sexual attack situation), as long as consent is also obtained from the parent(s) or guardian(s).

2. For the purpose of this Act, it is irrelevant whether the victim showed any signs of sexual stimulation (such as an erect penis or a wet vagina), as this can happen involuntarily. Jurors and judges MUST be reminded of this during any court case that relates to this Act, and during any court case to which this Act relates.

3. For the purpose of this Act, "urgent situation" is a situation that has been declared to be urgent by a Member of the Leadership.

JUSTIFICATION:
This Act has been implemented due to the potential (and in the case of 1(a)(i) and 1(a)(ii), almost certain, in most cases) immediate and long-term negative effects of such acts, including, but not limited to, suicidal feelings and/or suicide attempt(s), flashbacks, nightmares, disturbing thoughts when around a person or persons of the same gender as the attacker(s), and other traumatic effects as a result of such a torturous experience. The reason that a person accused under this Act must be considered guilty until proved innocent is that, if the opposite were true, it may be more difficult, considering the nature of the crime, for victims to come forwards. The reason for the exception is to help prevent terrorism.

----------------------------------------------------------

16. Child Modelling Act

1 It is illegal for a child to take part in modelling which

(a) takes up more than 50% of their childhood

OR

(b) provides the sole income for the family of the child

OR

(c) includes two or more persons engaging in sexual activity with each other

OR

(d) contains overtly sexual images which are not necessary for artistic purposes/reasons or which are not obviously accidental due to the way a child is naturally positioned

NOTES: For the purpose of this Act, "overtly sexual" does NOT include erections unless they are being deliberately stimulated. It DOES include the child's genitals being deliberately focussed on, and it DOES include the child being unnaturally positioned in such a way that their pose is sexual in nature. For the purpose of this Act, "necessary for artistic purposes/reasons" means that the sexual image is relevant to the subject that the image is being used for [for example if an article is talking about sexuality, it is acceptable to use pictures related to that subject - for example, masturbation, so long as such pictures do not break the Illegal Sexual Act Act (for example, sex with an adult is still illegal), and such pictures must ONLY be used when necessary for artistic purposes]. For the purpose of this Act, an example of an accidental sexual image due to the way a child is positioned could be an image in which a child is leaning backwards over a swing, something which is perfectly natural and innocent but which would cause focus upon the child's genitals on a nude child.

JUSTIFICATION: There is nothing wrong with a child taking part in modelling, UNLESS THAT MODELLING IS EXPLOITATIVE.

-----------------------------------------

20. Alcohol Act
1 It shall be illegal for any person to drink alcohol except on production of an Alcohol Registration Card (ARC).

(a)Any person found by a police officer to be drinking alcohol without
production of
an ARC shall be liable to a £50 fine

(b)Any organisation (shop, etc.) found by a police officer to be providing
alcohol to any person
who does not produce an ARC shall be liable to a £200 fine

2 An ARC can only be obtained by a person aged 18 years or over.

(a)Any person who supplies an ARC to a person who is under the age of 18 is
liable to dismissal and a minimum £50 fine, up to a maximum £200 fine

3 An ARC will allow a maximum of 4 alcoholic drinks per night of 5% ABV or more per drink, or a maximum of 6 alcoholic drinks per night of less than 5% ABV per drink

(a)An day of alcholic drinks on one week shall not roll over into the next
day

(b)Any person found by a police officer to be drinking more alcohol than
allowed on their ARC shall be liable to a £50 fine

(c)Any organisation (pub, etc.) found by a police officer to be providing
more alcohol than allowed on that person's ARC shall be liable to a £200
fine

4 An ARC must be ticked off per each alcoholic drink by the person taking the order for the drink. Failure to do so will leave an organisation liable to a £200 fine

JUSTIFICATION: Whilst it is recognised that alcohol can help to deal with stress and assist those who are shy, too much of it can cause serious problems which can tie up the police when they may be needed elsewhere. However, the limit on an ARC (a total of 28 drinks per week of 5% ABV upwards or 42 of less than 5% ABV), much higher than the 14 units limit per week for women and 21 units per week for men, is very generous, as it allows for more alcohol consumption than reccomended and allows a person to lower their inhibitions, yet is unlikely to cause many problems associated with extreme drinking of alcohol.

---------------------------------------------

18. Prisoner Forced Drug Testing Act

1 Any person serving a sentence of 1 year or more is to have drugs tested on them, subject to the following restrictions:

(a)Drugs known to be harmful must not be tested, and

(b)Drugs for a spcific condition must not be tested on a person who does not
have that condition

JUSTIFICATION: This Act has been implemented for two reasons: 1, to try to put people off committing a crime that merits a sentence of 1 year or more, and 2, to test drugs for the benefit of science, helping to avoid arguments for testing on animals and arguments that there are not enough human volunteers or/and not enough money to pay testers who require payment.

---------------------------------------

5. Prisoner Blood Donation Act

All healthy prisoners serving a sentence of 3 months or more must donate one litre of blood to the Multiland Health Service, unless they have already donated blood.

JUSTIFICATION:
This Act has been implemented to try to put persons off committing a crime that merits a sentence of 3 months or more. It has been implemented because the procedure would not harm a healthy prisoner and they would be contributing to society. It also helps in keeping a reasonable level of blood stocks.

The illegal sexual acts act does not, in terms of literal translation and full spectrum of sexual acts, preclude rape or other forced acts of a sexual nature.

Yes it does:

1 (a)(i) It is illegal for Person A to deliberately touch any part of Person B's penis, testicles, breasts, or vagina, without unforced, untricked, uncoerced, unpressured consent that has been willingly and freely given, or to have sexual intercourse with Person B, without unforced, untricked, uncoerced, unpressured consent that has been willingly and freely given. Any person under the age of 16 or who is under the influence of any type of drug (this includes alcohol) is to be considered incapable of giving free and willing consent. PENALTY: LIFE IMPRISONMENT. Sexual intercourse is to be defined as any sexual act which involves Person A's penis or vagina touching person B's vagina or penis or bum, regardless of whether penetration is involved.

There is another location the act of sex can be done which avoids Person B(if they're a woman) vagina or, for both genders, the bum and is still a sexual act, as part of outercourse rather than intercourse.

You mean genital-to-mouth contact? As it's not interfering with any sexual organ of Person B, it is not considered to be rape under the Law of the People of Multiland. It would, however, come under the following Act:

9. Sexual Harassment Act

1 If Person A deliberately and knowingly

(a)pursues Person B in a sexually-related manner after a request from Person B for Person A to stop such pursuit, or if Person B receives unwanted attention of a sexual nature (for example, sexually-related comments) from Person A after a request from Person B to stop such pursuit, or if Person A is in a position of authority and Person B is not in a position of authority (or if both are in a potision of authroity but Person A is in a higher position or/and has authority over Person B) and receives attention of a sexual nature from Person A and that attention has not been initiated or/and asked for by Person B,

OR

(d)torments, intimidates, irritates, or annoys Person B in such a way that causes severe humiliation and is related to one or more sexually-related parts of the body (for example, pointing out a penis or nipple erection where that erection may be a passive unwated accidental erection)

Person A will be committing the offence of Sexual Harassment.

PENALTY (where Person A is NOT in a position of authority): First offence: Official Caution and Criminal Record, plus Office of Safety Restraining Order. Second offence: one month imprisonment plus Jury-appointed Restraining Order to begin at the end of the ACTUAL duration of the prison term. Third offence: three years imprisonment or higher, to be decided by the jury based on the details of the case, up to LIFE IMPRISONMENT, plus Jury-appointed Restraining Order to begin at the end of the ACTUAL duration of the prison term.

PENALTY (where Person A IS in a position of authority and where person B is NOT in a position of authority, or where both are in a position of authority but Person A is in a higher position or/and has authority over Person B): First Offence: Official Caution, criminal record, Jury-appointed Restraining Order, and £5000 fine (to be paid to the court, NOT to the defendant). Second Offence: three months imprisonment plus Jury-appointed Restraining Order to begin at the end of the ACTUAL duration of the prison term. Third Offence: five years imprisonment or higher, to be decided by the jury based on the details of the case, upt to LIFE IMPRISONMENT, plus Jury-Appointed Restraining Order to begin at the end of the ACTUAL duration of the prison term..

JUSTIFICATION: A person has a right to go about their business without fear of a sexual attack, which is what sexual harassment may create.
