Relating to the prosecution of the offense of sexual assault.

SB 332 amends Texas Penal Code Section 22.011(b) to clarify what constitutes "without consent" in sexual assault cases. It adds 15 specific scenarios where consent is legally invalid, including when the victim is unconscious, mentally incapacitated, unaware of the act, or exploited due to a dependent relationship (e.g., clergy, healthcare providers, caregivers, or coaches). The bill directly affects all sexual assault prosecutions in Texas by defining clear legal standards for consent. Key provisions explicitly prohibit exploitation of trust in professional or caregiving roles and address situations involving intoxication or administered substances. This change provides a more precise legal framework for prosecutors and courts handling sexual assault cases.
