Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The defense of consent means that the criminal conduct for which the accused is charged was consented to by the alleged victim. This may be in the nature of an assault, battery, or sexual activity. In order to be valid, however, consent must be freely and voluntarily given by a person who is legally competent and is not a minor. Discuss statutory offenses and how consent of the victim is irrelevant. Many offenses cannot be consented to, such as homicide and those involving serious harm.
