"There are a number of sexual offences under the law of England and Wales, the law of Scotland, and the law of Northern Ireland (which function as three separate systems for this purpose). Rape is defined the same way for all three legal systems as: If a person (\u201CA\u201D), with A's penis \u2013 penetrates to any extent, without (1) another person (\u201CB\u201D) consenting, and (2) without any reasonable belief that B consents, either intending to do so or reckless as to whether there is penetration, the vagina, anus or mouth of B then \u2013 A commits an offence, to be known as the offence of rape."@en . . . .

It is therefore only legally possible for a biological woman to be guilty of rape if they assist a male assailant in an attack on a third party. Otherwise, a female can be charged with assault by penetration, which carries similar sentences to rape. If a man has sex with someone under the age of 16 then he is also guilty of rape as a child cannot lawfully consent to sex. Of women aged 16 to 59 in England & Wales interviewed for the 2006/07 British Crime Survey, 0.5% (1 in every 200) reported that they had suffered rape or attempted rape in the previous year, equating to approximately 85,000 nationally. In the same year, less than 800 persons were convicted of rape."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "1105664780"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
