Journalists and Judges Are Poking Around in Your Bedroom
May 21, 2016
While everyone is worrying about bathrooms and tacky back-and-forths among candidates, there is something far more troubling going on and it could have a lasting effect on our lives. A handful of judges and journalists met in DC this past week to consider a measure that would have turned every sexually active person, especially boys and men, into a sex offender.
The policy, “affirmative consent”, has been temporarily shelved but will rear its ugly head soon enough.
The elite American Law Institute of Federal and State appellate judges, considered an amendment to the Modern Penal Code requiring an affirmative consent for sexual assault. It was submitted by NYU law professor Stephen Shulhofer and Erin Murphy.
