§ 130.05 Sex offenses; lack of consent.
    1.  Whether  or  not  specifically  stated,  it is an element of every
  offense defined in this  article  that  the  sexual  act  was  committed
  without consent of the victim.
    2. Lack of consent results from:
    (a) Forcible compulsion; or
    (b) Incapacity to consent; or
    (c)  Where  the  offense charged is sexual abuse or forcible touching,
  any circumstances, in addition to forcible compulsion or  incapacity  to
  consent,  in  which the victim does not expressly or impliedly acquiesce
  in the actor's conduct; or
    (d) Where the offense charged is rape in the third degree  as  defined
  in  subdivision  three  of section 130.25, or criminal sexual act in the
  third degree as defined in  subdivision  three  of  section  130.40,  in
  addition  to forcible compulsion, circumstances under which, at the time
  of the act of intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal  sexual  conduct,
  the victim clearly expressed that he or she did not consent to engage in
  such  act,  and  a reasonable person in the actor's situation would have
  understood such person's words and acts as  an  expression  of  lack  of
  consent to such act under all the circumstances.
    3. A person is deemed incapable of consent when he or she is:
    (a) less than seventeen years old; or
    (b) mentally disabled; or

  correctional services  or  a  hospital,  as  such  term  is  defined  in
  subdivision  two  of section four hundred of the correction law, and the
  actor is  an  employee,  not  married  to  such  person,  who  knows  or
  reasonably  should  know  that  such person is committed to the care and
  custody of such department or hospital. For purposes of this  paragraph,
  "employee" means (i) an employee of the state department of correctional
  services  who  performs  professional  duties  in  a  state correctional

  arrangement with the state department of correctional  services  or,  in
  the  case  of  a  volunteer,  a  written agreement with such department,
  provided  that  the  person  received  written  notice  concerning   the

    (f)  committed  to  the  care  and  custody  of  a  local correctional
  facility, as such term is defined in subdivision two of section forty of
  the correction law, and the actor is an employee, not  married  to  such
