"Unintended Consequences? Never Heard Of Them!"

A new criminal offence of intentionally deceiving a person into engaging in sexual activity should be created to address confusion in the law around consent, legal experts and lawyers have said.
The new offence of inducing sexual activity by deception would cover both making of false representations as well as failing to disclose information.
As such, it would potentially apply in future to cases such as those involving “spy cops”, in which undercover police officers adopted fake personas and conducted sexual affairs with female activists.

Hmmm. Isn't it also going to apply to transgender people who aren't forthcoming about their real sex?


 I'm going to need two of these!

How about us men ‘deceived’ by all that make-up and the act, as well as the lie they actually like ‘us’ instead of the contents of our wallets? (I’m not even going to raise the number of men, smitten by a ‘sweet, honest, innocent’ girl, who thought they were ‘the one’ who later found out they’d tied themselves to the ‘local bike’ who’d ridden the c*ck-carousel so often she had callouses, frequent flyer miles, and is intimately familiar with the inside leg measurements of every piece of scum within a hundred miles. I’ll gloss over the single, with four children from four different baby-daddies, ‘ladies’ who only mention the fact on the third date, and then only when the ‘condom broke’ or they ‘made a mistake with taking their pill’ too – NB. Not experienced by ‘unattractive’, white me, but by multiple friends over the years).

Or, predictably, will it only (just like every other piece of “equality” legislation) work for … everyone ‘but’ white, normal men?

It will, of course, be applied retrospectively so I ‘look forward’ to seeing multiple prosecutions of random men (who just ‘happen’ to have money now) and who ‘cruelly deceived’ some slapper … I mean innocent woman victim forty years ago (by claiming their moped was a Harley, their Mini was a Ferrari, or by some issue with reading a tape-measure).

My view, that is not an unintended consequence, it is silent push back and fully intentional.

Will this also cover "I've had the snip" and "I'm on the pill"?

Back in the day when I was in the RAF, we had the MAFL, the Manual of Air Force Law, which ran alongside everyday civil law. The MAFL was distinguished by its Definitions, which were almost wholly ostensive.

These definitions were an amalgum of 'defences' that had been used in the past and failed. So, Rape, for instance, had one definition (amongst many) that said, "It is a crime to have sexual intercourse on the pretext that it is a surgical operation to improve the breathing".

If you're Army/MI5 and have ridden the 'pussy carousel' ypu shouldn't be surprised if you get a girl that's gad her fair share of sex. Otherwise it's the fox in the hen house, whereby genuinely vulnerable women get sleazy Army guys.

Rape has a different meaning if you're Army. A rape of a civilian is taken more seriously than the rape of an Army girl.

No Paul, it isn't, just like civvy street the overwhelming majority of "rapes" are 'regret a choice', 'he didn't give me what I want', 'I got caught and need to pretend to have been forced', 'he told me off so I'll get even' and (the ever favourite) 'I see a way of getting some money, or out of a posting/duty I don't like, for pretending'.

'When' it's a provable 'real' rape the Army comes down on them (unlike namby-pamby civilians) like a ton of bricks, and it guarantees a 'long' stay in Colchester (without any of the niceties and luxuries of regular service /sarc).

I assume you're so 'down' on the Army because you either got caught yourself (was it Coly or just a DD?), or you're just a wash-out (I've met dozens just like you, the sundry REMF PTSD claimants who have such good 'stories').

Those are MI5/Army/rich businesswoman etc girls. A woman who wasn't that wouldn't do this. You want a woman who won't complain when you're doing stuff to her. Sorry, the Army ain't buying that.

Paul said...

Those womwn you refer to are probably Army girls. You gonout with the local hairdresser, that's on you.

That'll be fun!

"My view, that is not an unintended consequence, it is silent push back and fully intentional."

Could be, could be...

"Will this also cover "I've had the snip" and "I'm on the pill"?"

Better order three boxes then!

"No Paul, it isn't, just like civvy street the overwhelming majority of "rapes" are 'regret a choice'..."

Or in the case of a famous footballer, 'he's worth how much?!?'...
