/heoretically, rape is determined by how many times the private organ touched the lips #People vs. Orilla). /he interval of time doesn,t matter. ealistically, it,s hard to prove the actual number of times that the penis touched the opening.
13.
emember that if there,s a relationship between the offender and a victim under 1', particularly as stepfather and stepdaughter #common law husband of mother$, sexual violence will be covered by RA :;5; or Anti8io%ence " in&t <omen nd Their Chi%dren( ape in this case would not be automatically covered by the 5C. ather, the right way to word the rape or sexual assault as a violation is: "he law that is violated is RA 9262 in relation to the law in the RPC. /his is because the offense is considered a violation under the !, but the penalty is found in the 5C.
8.
If the man is incapable of erection, the basis of the crime is his intention. If there was only lewd design (pindot-pindot only), that,s ct& o3 % &ci8iou&ne&&( If there was an attempt to penetrate, that,s ttem'ted r 'e( )%ogically, nonBerection will be a tough defense. 3hy would a man who intends to penetrate a woman be there if he can,t get an erectionEE 3hy will he be on top of the woman if he supposedly can,t get hard, or at least had the intention to do more than lewd actsEE /he courts will be more inclined to consider the act as attempted rape if intent to penetrate can be proven.-
14. /he
same goes for rape of a girl over 1' and
under 1>. /he law that is violated is RA 4567 *L # on Chi%d A0u&e, in re% tion to the RPC( 2nder the law on Child !buse, the pimps and the managers/administrators of establishments who allowed any sexual abuse on children are also liable.
6.
In a case where a man allegedly masturbated and placed his penis on top of the girl,s thing, the <C said that it was acts of lasciviousness, not attempted rape since there was no apparent intent to penetrate.
