The judge may direct the jury that—
people who do not consent to a sexual activity may not be physically injured or subjected to violence, or threatened with physical injury or violence; and
the absence of injury or violence, or threats of injury or violence, does not, of itself, mean that a person is not telling the truth about a sexual offence.
