Was thinking about this in class today (we're doing sexual assault under duress). Does threatening to withdraw a privilige really count as a threat? My rational is that what you are actually saying is "do this or I will treat you as I treat everyone else".
The seminar question was basically that V consented to intercourse with D after D said he would stop providing free artwork materials to V. I'm sure that in the end it counts as some kind of coercion, I just find the legislatory definition of "a non violent threat" really ambiguous. Anyone know of a case which limits/defines what constitutes a threat?
