What is Statutory R**e?

The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007 reads as follows:

“Section 15: Acts of consensual sexual pe*******on with certain children (statutory r**e)

(1) A person ('A') who commits an act of sexual pe*******on with a child ('B') who is 12 years of age or older but under the age of 16 years is, despite the consent of B to the commission of such an act, guilty of the offence of having committed an act of consensual sexual pe*******on with a child, unless A, at the time of the alleged commission of such an act, was-

(a) 12 years of age or older but under the age of 16 years; or

(b) either 16 or 17 years of age and the age difference between A and B was not
more than two years.

(2) (a) The institution of a prosecution for an offence referred to in subsection (1) must be authorised in writing by the Director of Public Prosecutions if A was either 16 or 17 years of age at the time of the alleged commission of the offence and the age difference between A and B was more than two years.

(b) The Director of Public Prosecutions concerned may delegate his or her power to decide whether a prosecution in terms of this section should be instituted or not”

5. The right to be brought before a court as soon as reasonably possible, but not later than ­

i. 48 hours after the arrest; or

ii. the end of the first court day after the expiry of the 48 hours, if the 48 hours expire outside ordinary court hours or on a day which is not an ordinary court day;

6. The right at the first court appearance after being arrested, to be charged or to be informed of the reason for the detention to continue, or to be released; and
