consent was given by both parties to sexual activity. Affirmative consent meanaffirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. It isthe responsibility of each person involved in the sexual activity to ensure that he orshe has the affirmative consent of the other or others to engage in sexual activity.Lack of protest, resistance, or silence does not mean consent. Affirmativeconsent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked atany time. The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, orthe fact of past sexual relations between them, should never by itself be assumedto be an indicator of consent.
