What is the state of the law on sexual assault under the Sexual Offences Act?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Alessio, 528 F.2d 1079 (9th Cir. 1976):

We reject appellant's claim that the language of the statute fails to advise persons of what acts the statute forbids. The language of the statute clearly and adequately expresses its purposes. United States v. Irwin, 354 F.2d 192, 196 (2d Cir. 1965). Accordingly, the statute as applied here is not constitutionally vague.
