2003 SESSION
HB 2622 Sexual crimes.
Introduced by: Bradley P. Marrs | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Sexual crimes. Amends the forcible sodomy and object sexual penetration statutes by removing the provision that such crimes cannot be committed against a spouse unless the spouses were living separate and apart or there was bodily injury caused by force or violence. This bill is similar to a change made by the 2002 General Assembly, which removed the same exemption from the rape statute (often called the marital rape exemption).
