Make statements about raping someone a specific offence, regardless of intent

Petition Details

Violence towards women is a major issue in society. Yet there is no specific offence preventing someone from saying they would rape a person. There is no legitimate reason for this, including comedy.

Additional Information

Making this a specific offence should send a strong message and help prevent this behaviour.

Amend the Public Order Act to make stating in public or private, including online or any messaging system, that you or any other person should or would rape a person, regardless of any intention, a criminal offence.

It is completely unacceptable !!
