As a resident of Tennessee I do hope this doesn’t get those who aren’t really a rapist, yet are charged with such crime. For instance, I know personally a guy who was charged with a rape charge. The situation was the guy was 18-19 yrs old. The girl was 17. They both went out, eventually ended up at a motel. They were a couple. Then the parents found out. They didn’t like him at all, and got the police involved. The parents were going for a rape charge and after awhile got it to stick. The girl just told the truth and defended him as she consented, etc, etc. Guy ends up in prison for 4 yrs. Think he served 3. All for a consented relationship and a few yrs different in age. Last I heard they were together. So according to this would he be a recipient for the death penalty?
Talk about backfire. The parents made sure they're together for life! She stuck by him during his lowest point, a prison sentence he didn't deserve.
