There has been a case in Lincoln where clearly a roleplay scenario has gone wrong and police got involved ! Most of the case seemed to rest on the premise that :-
“Under English law no one can consent to being seriously assaulted.”
From the report :-
A Lincolnshire man who assaulted a woman will not face jail after telling a judge he thought it was role play.
XXXX admitted slapping the woman’s face but said they often engaged in rough sex after meeting on the dating app Tinder two months earlier.
A judge was shown a number of videos in which the pair had previously filmed themselves inflicting violence upon each other, including firm slaps and punches.
They also admitted tying each other up with ropes and on one occasion using the safety word “egg timer” when things went too far.
XXXX was alleged to have launched a violent attack on the woman after they returned to his flat in Lincoln, following a night out in which they both consumed cocaine and alcohol.
Police were called by neighbours after the woman ran out of the flat in to the street wearing only her bra.
What’s your thoughts please ??
