Oral Copulation by Force is found in Penal Code § 288a(c)(2) & (3). “Oral copulation” means any contact, however slight, between one person’s mouth and a sexual organ or anus of another person. Oral copulation is done “by force” if you use enough physical force to overcome the alleged victim’s will. If the allegation is that the oral copulation was done by fear, the prosecutors must prove that the alleged victim was actually afraid.
