abstract = {{In 2016, the German parliament changed the law on sexual assault and rape (Sect. 177 StGB). The new law assumes a \textquotedblleftno-means-no\textquotedblright-model, while the old law required coercion as a necessary feature of rape and other forms of sexual assaults. In addition, two new offense descriptions were introduced: sexual harassment (Sect. 184i StGB) and offenses out of groups (Sect. 184j StGB). In this Article, I describe the deficiencies of the old law, the process of law reform, and the newly enacted prohibitions.}},
