They said
intention was relevant. These distinctions will end up being important if (Odin forbid) you ever find yourself in a law class.
If you intend to have sex with someone against their consent, it's rape, regardless of what emotion motivated you.
Brb rape intention is important, the reason why I did it will change the judges verdict
You're misunderstanding the difference between intent and motive.
Okay "I didn't intend to" does not equal "I had no motivation to" ?
Saying intent is during and motivation is prior?
Either one I'm saying would be irrelevant when it comes to rape. The victim still walks away feeling stripped
Many forms of rape/molestation - victims of voyeurism
Intent is what you desire to do. Motive is your reason for doing so.
If I shoot someone with the desire to kill them, I have the
intent to kill. This means that I'm guilty of murder.
But if my reason for shooting them, my
motivation, was because they were about to shoot me, then I have committed the act in self-defense. Or at least I'll hope a jury sees it that way. My motivation in no way changes my intent. I still shot at them to kill them.
