Article 130 SEX OFFENSES
§ 130.20 Sexual misconduct. A person is guilty of sexual misconduct when: - He or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person without such person's consent; or
- He or she engages in oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct with another person without such person's consent; or
- He or she engages in sexual conduct with an animal or a dead human body. Sexual misconduct is a class A misdemeanor.
NYSHA's notes: Additional laws to consider See Agriculture and Markets Law, Article 26 Section 353, which deals with causing and permitting suffering of animals. If a person engages in sexual conduct with an animal, and a veterinarian determines that physical harm to the animal has resulted from that contact, you can additionally charge the person with a violation of Section 353. |
