28. Consent known to be given under fear or misconception.--A consent is not such a consent as

if the person doing the act knows, or has reason to believe, that the consent was given in consequence

of such fear or misconception; or

(b) if the consent is given by a person who, from unsoundness of mind, or intoxication, is unable

to understand the nature and consequence of that to which he gives his consent; or
