I have posted many times stating that it is too easy for women to cry rape and ruin a person's life without any proof.

The law in that State, however, doesn't recognize deception as rape, only force.  The article actually says that the court asked the legislators to change the law.  This usually means that a judge wants to act, but can't because the law doesn't allow it.  The LAW let her down here, not the court.  The Law should be changed.  Unfortunately, that is easy to say and much more difficult to do.  Left too vague and you face abuse of the law by disgruntled girlfriends, to specific and you risk letting loose some truly evil f**k that deserves to die.]]></content><score></score><crdate>5/13/2007 2:59:19 AM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2007-05-13T02:59:19+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>55296</id><url>http://www.plime.com/l/19992/1/xml_widget.rss#q5</url><title><![CDATA[2manyusernames @ 5/12/2007 8:54:11 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[How can that not be rape?
