"Top Md. court rules on sexual consent case; Rape charge can be brought if consent is withdrawn during sex, court rules"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Top Md. court rules on sexual consent case; Rape charge can be brought if consent is withdrawn during sex, court rules": The Baltimore Sun provides a news update that begins, "The state's highest court ruled this morning that a man can be charged with rape if he ignores a woman's calls to stop -- even if she had previously consented to the sex. Maryland now joins seven other states whose courts have concluded that a woman can revoke her consent after intercourse begins. The Court of Appeals' conclusion on the controversial matter -- one paragraph of a 76-page ruling in a complex rape case from Montgomery County -- overturns existing common law and its own 1980 opinion."

You can access today's ruling of the Court of Appeals of Maryland at this link.
