re: #28 wrenchwench

Buck, you are so wrong. I don’t even need a legal dictionary to show you. Wikipedia will show what’s common knowledge:

Emphasis added, to no avail probably.

Your emphasis is missing both parts:

Statutory rape differs from forcible rape in that overt force or threat need not be present. The laws presume coercion, because a minor or mentally challenged adult is legally incapable of giving consent to the act.

Need not be present but is presumed. Coercion is presumed.

Now which word do you need to look up? “Coercion” or “presumed”.

Coercion: The practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats.

Presume: take to be the case or to be true; accept without verification or proof

SO, your quote backs me up and says that there is no statutory rape that includes consensual sex because the coercion is assumed.

And as to you confession, I did not know, and I am very sorry to hear about that, BUT I am quite sure you would not say it was consensual or non violent.

You can try and paint me as a villain, but I am stating three things that I believe to be completely true:

Number one: Saying that “the GOP would rape women if they thought they could” is a horrible generalization. In the case of the story there is are muslim men and women sexually assaulting women. It would be wrong to generalize and say that, muslim men and women would sexually assault women if they could.

Number two: There is NO NON-VIOLENT way to force intercourse on a person. All Rape is by definition violent.

Number three: There is no such thing as consensual statutory rape.
