R Brown
Biography
R v Brown [1993] UKHL 19, [1994] 1 AC 212 is a House of Lords judgment that confirmed the conviction of five men for consensual sadomasochistic acts over a ten-year period. The men were convicted of unlawful and malicious wounding and assault occasioning actual bodily harm under sections 20 and 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. The central question was whether consent could be a valid defence to assault in these circumstances. The Court held it could not. The case is known colloquially as the Spanner case, after Operation Spanner, the police investigation that uncovered the activities.
