Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 21
A. In all instances of sexual assault including, but not
limited to, rape, rape by instrumentation and forcible sodomy where
force is alleged, the term "force" shall mean any force, no matter
how slight, necessary to accomplish the act without the consent of
the victim. The force necessary to constitute an element need not
be actual physical force since fear, fright or coercion may take the
place of actual physical force.
B. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals is requested and
authorized to proceed to prescribe, institute and publish within ten
(10) days of the effective date of this act a uniform instruction to
be given in jury trials of criminal cases that defines the term
"force" consistent with the definition provided for in subsection A
of this section.
