(the obvious answer is that this story will never see the light of day in the US). On the other hand, lets say there were a similar case in a European country where an ethnic native of one of those countries had a one night stand with someone who was not an ethnic native, the non-ethnic native was deceptive about his/her enthnicity, and then the courts put the non-ethnic in jail. How much coverage might that get in the US? What if the country were Germany? How is it that the US has such selective coverage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-77448853865978770962010-07-23T11:51:44.511-04:002010-07-23T11:51:44.511-04:00Anonymous -- Amen.

The only way this woman's "sanctity" was violated was that her sex partner urned out to be the wrong ethncity, which in this country would be viewed as pure bias. <br /><br />BTW, I have nothing against people who knowingly spread STD's being prosecuted. But this case, of course, had nothing to do with that.John Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729625146043379286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-64051477720185217002010-07-23T11:39:54.913-04:002010-07-23T11:39:54.913-04:00When Segal said, "The court is obliged to pro...When Segal said, "The court is obliged to protect the public interest from sophisticated, smooth-tongued criminals who can deceive innocent victims at an unbearable price – the sanctity of their bodies and souls.", I think he was forgetting that this woman agreed to have sex with a man she had just met. I hardly think of her as a victim and I doubt she was worried about the sanctity of her body or her soul when she agreed to go with him to the hotel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-35924367112826843092010-07-22T16:04:07.385-04:002010-07-22T16:04:07.385-04:00Paavo -- I think the law should deinitely stay out...Paavo -- I think the law should deinitely stay out of or bedrooms. Where would we draw the line? People always pretend they<br />re more inteested in a serious relitonship than they are. What if a woman indicates she is wililng but at the last minute decides not to? What if a guy says he is good in bed but turns out not to be? What if someone catches herpes from someone else? What if someone breaks up with the other person in a particularly mean way? The list of broken promises and unpleasant forms of behvior is endless. Would we really want all these situations adjudicated in a court of law? I don't think so.John Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729625146043379286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-17955044548158149642010-07-22T11:33:57.381-04:002010-07-22T11:33:57.381-04:00rape by deception.
It would be a good title for a...rape by deception. <br />It would be a good title for a song. <br />...<br /><br />Sometimes I think that the law should not stay out of our bedrooms. If there would be some laws, maybe there wouldn't be so much violence. Of course people like to keep the romance, and want to be fooled by the false signals that seducers send them. Contracts are not sexy. <br />...<br />Many heterosexual men feel violated, if they get Crying Gamed. Racists probably feel the same way. <br /><br />I guess the difference is that, there are brand name manufacturers for food, but not for sex. The brand is "looking like being in loov" but unfortunately it is easily faked, and not protected by any trademarks.Paavohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624742837896581547noreply@blogger.com
