    Record sexual consent with an app, police chief suggests

    An ethics experts describes the suggestion as a quick fix that misunderstands the circumstances of sexual assaults.

    An Australian police chief has suggested a phone app could be developed to document sexual consent as a way to improve conviction rates for sex crime cases.

    New South Wales state police commissioner Mick Muller said dating apps have brought couples together and the same technology could also provide clarity on the question of consent.

    “Technology doesn’t fix everything, but…it plays such a big role in people meeting at the moment. I’m just suggesting: is it part of the solution?” Mr Fuller said.

    He said the number of sexual assaults reported in Australia’s most populous state was increasing while a prosecution success rate of only 2% stemming from those reports showed the system was failing.

    “Consent can’t be implied,” he wrote in News Corp newspapers, adding: “Consent must be active and ongoing throughout a sexual encounter.”

    Responses to the consent app suggestion have been largely negative or sceptical.

    Mr Fuller said his suggestion could gain popularity in time.

    He said: “To be honest with you, the app idea could be the worst idea I have in 2021, but the reality is in five years, perhaps it won’t be.

    “If you think about dating 10 years ago, this concept of single people swiping left and right was a term that we didn’t even know.”

    State Premier Gladys Berejiklian congratulated Mr Fuller on “taking a leadership position on having the conversation” about the sexual assault problem, but declined to share her opinion on the app.

    Lesley-Anne Ey, a University of South Australia expert on harmful sexual behaviour involving children, said she did not think the app would work.

    She told the ABC: “I don’t think they’re going to interrupt the romance to put details into an app.”

    Catharine Lumby, a Sydney University specialist in ethics and accountability, described the suggestion as a quick fix that misunderstood the circumstances of sexual assaults.

    She said: “Fundamentally what we are now having a reckoning with is the fact that there is a very small minority of men in this society who are opportunists, who make the decision to sexually assault women.

    “They don’t care where, how or why they do it. They will take the opportunity and I’m sure they are more than capable of manipulating technology.”

    More than 100,000 women protested in rallies across Australia on Monday demanding justice while calling out misogyny and dangerous workplace cultures.
