ORIGINAL: ohthat1percent I'm using the State codes of TN because that is the jurisdiction most rape cases are heard. To have it governed by federal law it has to be in conjunction with a federal crime. I have not had a chance to review However greatlilbabygirl, you are wrong on the State level, I haven't looked at the federal codes but here in TN the code reads: (1) that the defendant had unlawful sexual penetration of the alleged victim or the alleged victim had unlawful sexual penetration of the defendant. It clearly covers a woman raping a man. The legal definition of penetration they are using is: Sexual penetration" means sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, anal intercourse, or any other intrusion, however slight, of any part of a person's body or of any object into the genital or anal openings of the alleged victim's, the defendant's, or any other person's body, but emission of semen is not required.3 Wow I should have done more research, the Federal Code actually says - not rape but sexual assault is: (D) inducing a belief by any artifice, pretense, or concealment that the person is another person; I am curious if any who don't believe its rape before knowing the law -- I will admit I didn't research it at first -- what your thoughts are now? I think paragraph D covers misrepresenting yourself as someone who is known and trusted by the victim, but should also cover misrepresenting your true gender (IE: Trans rape). Misrepresenting yourself as a captain of industry when in reality you're a janitor? No.
