Our KaraKenney6 has followed this bill from the beginning. HEA 1079 takes effect July 1.
House Enrolled Act 1079 says rape is when the perpetrator disregards the victim’s attempts to “physically, verbally, or by other visible conduct refuse the person’s acts.”
“For example, if a woman is pulling her clothes back on and trying to avoid this physical confrontation,” said Negele.“Typically, it is a woman who is raped,” said Negele. “I need to stand up for all women in this scenario." “Clarity gives us yet another tool to successfully hold perpetrators accountable and help survivors on their journey,” said Beth White, executive director at ICESAHT, told WRTV. “Putting into our state law clarity about consent—we believe 1079 is a really important step in that direction. We want to thank the legislators who worked on it. We want to thank Governor Holcomb for signing it.”
"Having a law that defines consent could mean that Indiana prosecutors will be more likely to take rape cases to court, and more survivors will find the courage to seek justice,” said Rima Shahid, chief executive officer of Women4Change. “It’s definitely a step toward making Indiana a better place for women, which is our mission."
