(3) When the same conduct or criminal episode violates only one statutory provision and involves only one victim, but nevertheless involves repeated violations of the same statutory provision against the same victim, there are as many separately punishable offenses as there are violations, except that each violation, to be separately punishable under this subsection, must be separated from other such violations by a sufficient pause in the defendant’s criminal conduct to afford the defendant an opportunity to renounce the criminal intent. Each method of engaging in oral or anal sexual intercourse as defined in ORS 163.305 (Definitions) , and each method of engaging in unlawful sexual penetration as defined in ORS 163.408 (Unlawful sexual penetration in the second degree) and 163.411 (Unlawful sexual penetration in the first degree) shall constitute separate violations of their respective statutory provisions for purposes of determining the number of statutory violations.
