Etymology
From non- + consent.
Meanings
-
(uncountable) A lack of consent.
Essentially we are looking at what the victim may have said or done to clearly communicate her nonconsent to the sexual act to the offender. This is important because if the victim consented to the act, then no criminal offense was committed.
