Hogan expected to sign Md. bill that redefines rape

WASHINGTON — Among the bills the Maryland General Assembly has sent to the governor’s desk is a measure that would fundamentally change how the law defines rape.

Supporters of the measure expect Gov. Larry Hogan to sign the bill, which makes clear that rape victims don’t have to physically fight an attacker in order for prosecutors to bring charges.

The bill is called the “No Means No” law and is co-sponsored by Del. Kathleen Dumais, a Democrat representing Maryland’s 15th District.

Under current law, advocates said, there have been horrific cases of rape in which prosecutors declined to pursue charges against the attacker.

so a female can imagine that some guy wants her and is convinced that he wants her all in her head and he can go to prison for it without even saying a word to the psycho.....rape is not being redefined...loonacy is....how many innocent men will sit behind bars because of some bimbo that will lie?

Lie detector test. If it is good enough for intelligent agencies it is good enough for rape.
