Abstract
A vigorous debate about whether sex by deception ought to be considered rape appears tohave caught the imagination of criminal law theorists and commentators in recent years. Thisdebate is by no means devoid of practical implications as shown by case law from variousjurisdictions which have had to grapple with the issue. This article sets out the approach taken inSingapore and suggests that it may offer a practical solution in this contentious area of criminallaw and the understanding of consent.
