Model Sexual Assault Code

Prescribed Culpability Requirement Applies to All Material Elements. 4

"When the law defining an offense prescribes the kind of culpability that is sufficient for the commission of an offense, without distinguishing among the material elements thereof, such provision shall apply to all the material elements of the offense, unless a contrary purpose plainly appears."


  1. This provision is identical to The Model Penal Code § 2.02(4). ↩
