    1.  Definition  (Touching on actus reus, consent, mens rea – avoiding graphic details) * What is rape in law? * Is rape defined by force alone? * How does the law define consent?   2. What Is Consent — Legally? * Legal definition  * Can consent be withdrawn? * Is silence consent? * Does intoxication invalidate consent? * What about power imbalance (lecturer/student, boss/employee)?   3. Evidence & Burden of Proof * Why are rape cases difficult to prove? * Is corroboration required? * Why does credibility become central? Clarify: * Presumption of innocence * Proof beyond reasonable doubt * How do we protect victims while preserving fair trial rights?   4. Social & Cultural Layer * Why do victims hesitate to report? * What role does stigma play? * Does social media help or complicate cases? * Should public opinion influence how sexual offence cases are handled?   5. False Allegations  * How common are false allegations legally? * How does the system guard against both injustice and disbelief?   6. Reform & Prevention * Should sexual consent education be mandatory? * Are our sentencing structures appropriate? * What would improve the system?   ETHICAL QUESTIONS  These can be asked at various intervals during the above discussions * Is the law currently victim-centred, accused-centred, or balanced? * Should intoxication automatically invalidate consent? * Can consent exist within certain power imbalances? * Does media coverage improve justice or distort it? * Should rape trials be fully private?   MYTH v FACT * If there are no injuries, it’s not rape. * Delayed reporting means it didn’t happen. * Previous relationship means ongoing consent. * Marriage excludes rape. * If there was previous sexual history, it matters. * A victim must fight back physically. * Rape cases are easy to win.
