The Minnesota Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a man who picked up a woman outside a bar, took her home, and had sex with her. Under state law, since the woman drank the alcohol willingly, the man could not be charged with 3rd-degree criminal sexual misconduct.
The judges said the man could be charged with a gross misdemeanor — 5th-degree sexual conduct. The difference is that the 3rd-degree assault charge carries a sentence of 15 years in prison while the misdemeanor would put the man in jail for 1 year.
Naturally, many women are outraged at the Minnesota Supreme Court.
In this case, the judge’s hands had been tied by the state legislature who wrote this $#@!amamie statute. The judges interpreted the law correctly so if you’re going to rant against anyone, state lawmakers should be the target.
