The controversial court judgment on the issue of sexual consent could undermine South Africa’s quest to assert the human rights of women, according to a legal expert. This comes after acting Eastern Cape High Court Judge Tembeka Ngcukaitobi overturned the conviction of a former paramedic who was found guilty of raping his girlfriend because, by agreeing to oral sex, Ngcukaitobi ruled – she had tacitly agreed to penetrative sex. She was a virgin.
