California Rape Law Only for Married Women: Court

If an attacker has sex with a California woman by pretending to be her husband, that's rape. But if she's not married and he's impersonating her boyfriend, it's a different story, according to a state appeals court. Judges unanimously overturned the conviction of Julio Morales, who had sex with a woman after her boyfriend left her bedroom late one night in February 2009. When she realized the man was not her boyfriend, she screamed and fought him, the Los Angeles Times reports. But the appeals court found that, because of the wording of an 1872 law, his behavior may not have been grounds for a rape conviction.

Can't trust a liberal to protect the public. They always side with enemies both foreign and domestic.

If only she had a gun there wouldn't have been a trial.

There comes a point when allowing these fools to govern our lives is no one's fault but ours.

Time to repeal that law and those judges.
