CRW2602 Assignment 1 Semester 1 2026 QUESTION: X, a 45-year old male farmer, is deeply in love with Y, a 17-year old girl. Y does not welcome the attention she receives from X but agrees to go horseback riding with X and to have a picnic with him on his farm. X’s plan is to ride with Y to a deserted spot on his farm, have a picnic with her and then force her to drink alcohol. X hopes that the alcohol will diminish Y’s inhibitions and that she will then have consensual sexual intercourse with him. Upon their arrival at the picnic spot, X and Y dismount their horses and X pours Y a glass of champagne. X tells Y that the champagne “will relax her and allow X to demonstrate his love for her”. Y dislikes alcohol but is forced by X to drink it, which she reluctantly does. After drinking the champagne Y decides to get to safety as quickly as possible and mounts her horse to leave. X is furious at Y and therefore intentionally frightens Y’s horse as a result of which Y falls from her horse. Name the offences with which X may be charged in respect of his conduct and give reasons for your answers. You do not need to define the offences. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR ANSWER MAY NOT EXCEED ONE AND A HALF PAGES. Total: [10]
