“'is not competent to give consent and that sexual contact or . . . intercourse with such a person is a criminal offense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In sec. 940.225, as in prior sexual assault statutes, the legislature has focused on the fact that sexual assault is a nonconsensual act. . .. Nevertheless, as early as statehood and continuing thereafter, the offense of rape was expanded by the Wisconsin legislature to include intercourse with a female incapable of giving meaningful consent because of immaturity. Beginning in 1849 . . . this state has by statute made it a crime to engage in sexual intercourse with a person under a statutorily prescribed age regardless of the consent of the victim . . .. Sec. 940.225(l)(d), sec. 940.225(2)(e) and sec. 940.225(4) fit together well if they are read to establish three substantive offenses: sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person under twelve; sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person over the age of twelve and under fifteen years of age; and sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who is fifteen to seventeen years of age without the consent of that person.”
