Rape (PC Sections 261-266)

Criminal sexual assault also known as rape is a felony that carries with it severe penalties. Rape is sexual intercourse against a person under one of the following circumstances:

• The victim is unable to give legal consent due to a mental disorder, developmental disability, or physical disability
• The victim is unable to resist because the person is unconscious, intoxicated, or anesthetized, and the assailant knew or should have known of the victim's condition
• The action is against the person's will by using force, violence, menace, duress, or fear of immediate injury, or by a threat to retaliate in the future
• The defendant is a public official who acts against the victim's will by a threat to arrest or deport the victim

California law specifically makes it unlawful for a man to rape his wife.
