@BillRM,
Sorry, but you do not know what the hell you are talking about.
You have misunderstood the definition of rape throughout this entire thread. The issue with rape is NON CONSENT. It does not have to involve force at all. You wanted a state law and I posted one.
Here is NYS "no means no" law again
Quote:
Rape 3rd & Sodomy 3rd. Penal Law 130.25 and 130.40 – Class E felonies.
1. Sexual intercourse,
2. without consent
3. where the lack of consent is not due to "incapacity to consent." That is, the victim actually expresses lack of consent by words and/or actions during the incident.
Use of force is not required. No means no.
The new definition of lack of consent in Penal Law 130.05(2) adds "circumstances under which at the time of intercourse, the victim clearly expressed that he or she did not consent to engage in such act, and a reasonable person in the [defendant’s] situation would have understood such person’s words and acts as an expression of lack of consent to such act under all the circumstances."

That has been the problem with you throughout this entire thread. You don't even know what rape is
as defined by the laws.
I didn't make up these definitions, these are the laws. RAPE IS SEX WITHOUT CONSENT.
You don't know what you are talking about, you don't really understand what other people have been talking about, and you don't understand the information that's being posted, even the info you've posted (you misunderstood the ruling in that Maryland case) And you have the gall to insult anyone else who posts in this thread?
You're doing nothing but embarrassing yourself with your ignorance in this thread.
