English criminal law is a system of laws and principles that govern the punishment of individuals who commit crimes in England and Wales. It is based on a combination of statutes and common law principles.
The theoretical elements of English criminal law include concepts of punishment, evidence, defence and prosecution, and criminalisation. These elements shape the foundation of the criminal justice system and guide the application of criminal laws.
To establish criminal liability, certain elements need to be proven. These elements include the actus reus, which refers to the physical act or conduct of the accused, and the mens rea, which refers to the mental state or intention behind the act. Various defences are recognised, such as incapacity, compulsion, and mistake.
English criminal law covers a wide range of specific criminal offences, including murder, manslaughter, sexual offences, non-fatal offences, and property offences. Each offence has its own elements and requirements for establishing guilt.
It is important to note that the information provided here is a general overview and should not be considered legal advice. The application and interpretation of criminal law can vary depending on the specific circumstances and jurisdiction.

Great tutorial

Hi, can you do videos on Civil Litigation, Drafting PoC's and explain it in details.

Short version: the woman can throw any man in jail, deliberately, just by false accusation.
Avoid any "consent-based legislation", and rather stay in a "coercion-based legislation".

If you think that the system of prosecuting sexual offences is biased against men in England and Wales, then you are truly lost and haven't listened to a single word I have said.

@@thelawacademy1 the crime of rape came from a time when there was no abortion, no paternity test, and no alimony. It was the crime of disrespecting reproductive self-determination.
And this is exactly what women do to fathers at family court today: stealing the children and not allow the father to educate them.
And inserting an object into a bodily orifice, that is already assault. You don't need any extra crime for that. Especially, as "sexual intent" is not an objective quality. It is thought crime.
The English legal system is rotten to the core.
