Can women be charged for sex assault or rape? Sounds absurd, at least in China. According to Chinese Criminal Act, rape is defined as having sex or sexual intercourse with a woman or women against her or their will. Right, according to this definition, only men could be rapist. Most people assume that men should be willing to complete the process, and it’s not harmful to them. However, a judgment in US may change your mind. Ms Mary Kay Letourneau was sentenced 7 years in jail on charges of child rape. She had sex with a 12 year old boy over a span of 6 years and had two daughters with the boy. The women was 36 when she first had sex with the boy.
