in the mouth of an intoxicated other young man

Dunno about Oklahoma, but down here there is a good chance the girl's daddy might do some justice taking of his own.

allowed to fill the open SCOTUS seat.

Oklahoma is the perfect example with outdated rape statute that only mention vaginal or anal intercourse. Of course, now that this defense worked the DA says that other defendants are now making the same argument to avoid charges.


The judge in this case wrote; “We will not, in order to justify prosecution of a person for an offense, enlarge a statute beyond the fair meaning of its language.”

So listen up all you women in Oklahoma, the War on Women has hit your state hard, and if you're somehow incapacitated and some randy dude forces you to have oral sex, you have no legal redress. You're screwed, literally and figuratively, screwed, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it.

And there are still people who argue that there is no rape culture.

Probably be HB 1 so this doesn't happen ever again to another 16-year-old girl. Right? I mean, Republicans are all about protecting children, especially girls, right now, aren't they?

Huh, crickets! It's a little early in the year for that, but it's been kind of a warm spring around here.

Unfortunately, the court is correct in this case.

This is outrageous. It makes you wonder about the predatory sex habits of the judges on that court.

Courts can only rule on what the law says, and in some cases make the judgement where there is ambiguity. If the law specifically states that rape can only be vaginal or anal penetration then that's what standard they have to apply.

Sucks, but it's 100% the fault of the legislature in that state. Just like if someone steals a tractor and drives it down the road it is theft, but it's not auto theft because the law defines what is an automobile in a way that doesn't include a tractor and a prosecutor and judge can't just decide that since it had an engine and 4 wheels and they drove it down the road that is close enough.

I'm sure they can get other assault charges through for what happened, I'm not familiar enough with the law in that state to say what ones, but as the law is written while the acts may meet what our common sense definition of rape is there is no way any judge would let that charge stick, and if they did it would not hold up on appeal.

This is 100% a problem resulting from the legislature writing a bad law, probably way back when you didn't mention oral sex in public discourse at all, and failing to update it.
