Rape; remove element of force.

HB 720 removes "force" as a required element for rape convictions in Mississippi, meaning prosecutors no longer need to prove physical resistance or overpowering to secure a conviction. Instead, the law focuses on the absence of consent, aligning with modern legal standards for sexual assault. The bill also updates related provisions, including definitions for terms like "mentally incapacitated" and "physically helpless," and requires criminal sexual assault protection orders that remain in effect for at least two years after sentencing. These changes directly affect individuals accused of rape and victims seeking legal protection, shifting the legal framework toward consent-based accountability.
