Hi all
Am studying sexual offences at the moment and am having some trouble
trying to get my head around the issue of mistake as to age per cc v.
Ireland. I know that that decision ruled the provisions of the 1935
act in relation to unlawful carnal knowledge unconstitutional. However
im wondering what the status is in relation to sexual assault on
children under 15 and 17 under s2 of the criminal law rape amendment
act 1990. Can a defence of mistake as to age arise in this context and
what effect would it have on any potential conviction? Any
clarification would be great..
