Existing law defines rape as an act of sexual intercourse accomplished under certain circumstances, including with a person not the spouse of the perpetrator where the person is incapable of giving legal consent because of a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability.

This bill would remove the spousal exception from this definition of rape.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
