Judge: Law won't protect unmarried victims in rape

Quote:
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California appeals court overturned the rape conviction of a man who authorities say pretended to be a sleeping woman's boyfriend before initiating intercourse, ruling that an arcane law from 1872 doesn't protect unmarried women in such cases.
Quote:
The decision also urges the Legislature to examine the law, which was first written in response to cases in England that concluded fraudulent impersonation to have sex wasn't rape because the victim would consent, even if they were being tricked into thinking the perpetrator was their husband.

Hard to believe that in 2013 we still have laws on the books that are so obscenely unjust. The legacy of misogynistic men is long and far reaching.

If a person impersonates another person, the other party cannot possibly be having consentual sex, therefore it seems to me it would have to be rape.

The california law must surely be unconstitutional.
