'A love affair does not justify rape' - SC
Manila Bulletin
|June 26 2025
The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that a woman's admission of being in a relationship with a man does not imply consent to have sex.
-
It said that clear and convincing evidence is required on consent as a defense in cases involving sexual abuse or rape.
Reiterating its previous rulings, the SC said: “A love affair does not justify rape, for the beloved cannot be sexually violated against her will.”
With its ruling, the SC modified the Court of Appeals (CA) decision that affirmed the conviction of a man for violation of the Anti-Child Abuse law under Republic Act No. 7610, a lesser offense than rape.
