The removal of the local population would ensure that there would be no political calls for sovereignty or social movements that could curtail military operations. In 1960, the process of acquiring the islands began with a secret conversation between the US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and the British Minister of Defense Peter Thorneycroft.

For the statutory rape offence of sexual activity with a child under 16, the maximum sentence is 14 years’ imprisonment if there was penetration, and 6 months’ imprisonment and a fine or both if there was no such penetration. For rape, it is a defence to show that, in fact, the alleged victim did consent to the penetration (which may have to be proved through numerous pieces of evidence, such as testimony, recordings, text messages, CCTV or other video recordings). It is also a defence to prove that while there was unwanted sexual activity, it did not actually involve penetration (in which case, you would be charged with a lesser sexual offence). The poet imagines himself as the Lord of the fruits of Tartary and her pale silver rivers. He imagines himself as not only the Lord of the hills of Tartary, but also its bushes, forests and valleys. He talks about Tartary’s flashing stars, its scented breeze, its lakes that look like foamless seas, and its citron-trees that delight birds in every purple valley. The poet describes Tartary and its natural beauty, and asserts that he wants to rule over all of it.

Because of the higher value of and faster-growing demand for p-xylene product compared with benzene, most aromatics complex configurations are selected to increase the mixed-xylene and subsequently p-xylene yield. Of the above stated C 7A and C 9A/C 10A conversion processes, the transalkylation process is the most widely used and contributes to around 50% of the xylene production from an integrated aromatics complex. The transalkylation process produces an equilibrium mixture of xylene plus ethylbenzene. The xylenes are recovered and isomerized to p-xylene and/or other xylene isomers, while ethylbenzene is either isomerized to xylenes or dealkylated to form benzene.It would be, and is always with any crime comprising of multiple elements, a defence to prove that one or both of the elements of the offence are not present. In other words, to prove that the alleged victim is “of age” or that sex or sexual activity did not occur. There are, however, further defences even if the two elements are proven. In cases of offences against a child under 18 (cases that involve breach of a position of trust), the sentence can be up to 5 years’ imprisonment. Are there any defences to rape and statutory rape? Central to any rape case (and indeed any pursuant rape trial) is the issue of consent.
