In that case, consent was mutually given and if the other party then changes their mind and asks the other to stop, then consent ceases, right?<p>If the other party is not signalled that consent was withdrawn, then it is, in my mind, a bit tricky. It means that consent was no longer there, but the other party didn&#x27;t have any way of knowing. I think it&#x27;s fair to say that no assault occurred, but it&#x27;s still damaging to the one no longer wanting to have sex. In that case it&#x27;s really unfortunate for both parties :-(
