Change section 1 of the sexual offences act to include men as victims of rape
I would like the government to add a section to section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 stating that "A person (a) can commit an offence if they force another person (b) to penetrate their vagina, anus or mouth with their penis"
For too long men have been victims of rape by women but the stats have been underrepresented due to the nature of the crime of Rape.
With this proposed change, I hope this will encourage male victims of rape by forced penetration by women to come forward and the statistic of rape can be rightfully represented, bringing a more equal society, showing that anyone, Male or Female can not only be raped but can be rapists
