 NCSF Meets with Linda Fairstein, Head of the Manhattan Sex Crimes Unit
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom recently met with Linda Fairstein, head of the Sex Crimes Unit in Manhattan, to express concern with the District Attorney’s apparent position in the Jovanovic case that consent is not a defense to a charge of assault, even where no significant physical injury resulted.
Fairstein also agreed to allow NCSF to hold a training session for their 40 employees on the issue of consensual sadomasochism.
NCSF contends that consensual sadomasochistic practices could be prosecuted if the traditional defense of consent, which protects conduct ranging from sex play to sports, is removed from conduct resulting only in non-life threatening injuries, or in injuries of similar significance.
