Abstract

According to Norwegian legislation, "sexual activity with a person who is unconscious or for other reasons incapable of resisting the act" constitutes sexual assault. Our task in this article is to identify the kind of sexual harms that are (un)protected by this paragraph and to discuss the boundaries of rape that are set by legal practice. We do so through a systematic analysis of all verdicts on incapacity and sexual assault at appellate court levels through 2019 and 2020. The analysis strengthens our concern for victims' right to equality before the law and for the quality of courts' legal veridiction and interpretation of both law and sexual assault.

"无意识或因其他原因无力反抗"：挪威刑法中（不受）保护的性侵犯。

根据挪威法律，"与昏迷者或因其他原因而无反抗能力者发生性行为 "构成性侵犯。我们在本文中的任务是确定该款所（不）保护的性伤害类型，并讨论法律实践所设定的强奸界限。为此，我们系统分析了 2019 年和 2020 年上诉法院关于无行为能力和性侵犯的所有判决。该分析加强了我们对受害者在法律面前平等的权利以及法院对法律和性侵犯的法律核查和解释质量的关注。
