Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

I would be very grateful to the Minister if she could confirm that in scenarios such as this one, where there is a person with semen on their face and the rest of their body is not exposed, whether real or AI, that this falls into the definition of “intimate state” in Section 66B of the Sexual Offences Act. Additionally, I would be grateful if the Minister could confirm whether she will be having conversations with the CPS to ensure that this gap in understanding is being tackled.
