Section 132S-100-260. Sexual misconduct.

Engaging in nonconsensual sexual intercourse or nonconsensual sexual contact, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature where such behavior offends a reasonable, orderly, prudent person under these circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to:

(1) Sexual activity or contact for which clear and voluntary consent has not been given in advance.

(2) Sexual activity with someone who is incapable of giving valid consent because, for example, they are underage, sleeping or otherwise incapacitated due to alcohol or drugs.

(3) Sexual harassment, which includes unwelcome, gender-based verbal, written, electronic, and/or physical conduct. Sexual harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person's gender.

(4) Sexual violence which includes, but is not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, intimate violence, and sexual- or gender-based stalking.

(5) Nonphysical conduct such as sexual- or gender-based cyberstalking, sexual- or gender-based online harassment, sexual- or gender-based cyberbullying, nonconsensual recording of a sexual activity, and nonconsensual distribution of a recording of a sexual activity.
