3.4 Another provision of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977, that required synchronisation with the legislation under discussion is section 268. This section deals with "statutory unlawful carnal intercourse" and provides, among others, that if the evidence on a charge of unlawful carnal intercourse in contravention of any statute does not prove that offence but proves - (a) the offence of indecent assault; (b) the offence of common assault; (c) the statutory offence of - (i) committing an immoral or indecent act with another person; (ii) soliciting, enticing or importuning such other person to have unlawful carnal intercourse; (iii) soliciting, enticing or importuning such other person to commit an immoral or indecent act; or (iv) conspiring with such other person to have unlawful carnal intercourse, the accused may be found guilty of the offence so proved. Not only is the language of this provision archaic, the rationale behind the provision, in the opinion of the Committee, needs to be re-visited. This section has been amended in so far as it can be adapted in order to bring it in line with the Bill, as mentioned above. This section, dealing with prostitution- related issues is, however, of such a nature that it should form part of the Commission's investigation on adult prostitution. The Committee requests the Commission to ensure that this section is also given attention during the course of this investigation, in addition to the provisions dealing with adult prostitution, contained in the Sexual Offences Act, 1957.
