High Court to Rule on Law Banning Sex with a Stepchild
“The Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of a man who says he should not have been convicted of sexual battery for having sex with his stepdaughter, because they were consenting adults. Paul Lowe, 43, admitted to investigators that he had sex with the woman, and that was enough to charge him under the Ohio law prohibiting sex between stepparents and stepchildren, Stark County prosecutors said. The stepdaughter told investigators that she passed out on the couch at Lowe’s home following a night of drinking with friends in 2003 to celebrate her 22nd birthday. She said that when she woke up, Lowe, a former Stark County sheriff’s deputy, was having sex with her. Stark County Common Pleas Judge Sara Lioi denied Lowe’s request to dismiss the charge. He pleaded no contest in July 2004 and appealed.” — Plain Dealer (US)
Here’s a picture of Mr. Lowe, a former sheriff’s deputy. Additional details about his case can be found in an article about his original conviction, and also in this legal brief. The brief makes for quite interesting reading, since it details the arguments and legal precedents utilized by both sides.
In the incest stories published here on PervScan, commenters have generally supported the right of people to commit incest when all parties involved are consenting adults — adults. And certainly there is merit to Mr. Lowe’s contention that he should not be criminalized by a law plainly designed to protect children. The legal brief notes that the law forbidding sexual relations between stepparent and stepchild make no mention of age, so the conviction is technically correct on that score. But still, it doesn’t seem very reasonable. If both adults wanted to do it, then why should authorities intervene?
But did both adults really want to do it? Mr. Lowe’s stepdaughter may have been of legal age, but she was also sleeping off a state of inebriation when Mr. Lowe jumped her bones. By most definitions, that’s rape regardless of how old she was. Indeed, she ended up reporting it as rape — and that really seems to be the complication of the entire case. To convict Mr. Lowe under the law preventing stepparents from having sex with their stepchildren is technically correct but rather unreasonable, given the age of both parties. However, to charge and try him for rape would be perfectly appropriate. After all, how consensual could the sex have been? You don’t see the victim making a public declaration of her stepfather’s innocence.
Let me find this drunk ass ho passed out on my couch and she gonna wake up real fast once I start knocking the bottom outta that pussy.
Ain’t gone be no incest or rape to it either, cause she gonna be begging me for more.
Shut your piehole detroitplayer … we all know you’re some fatass limpdick looser who lives on the internet from his threadbare sofa. Grow up and think about the things you say would you please? Stop trying to be what you think is “cool”. You just end up sounding like a dumbass.
If she was raped he needs to be prosecuted. End of story.
As far as the Step-parent law is concerned … if both parties agree, then it’s nobody elses business.
Whassa matter Lex? You forget to take your medications again? Keep it up and they’ll come get you and lock you back up again. Remember how you hate all them group therapy sessions, talking ’bout your anger issues..
Just chill man, you getting way too excited ’bout nothing.
Lex, you fucking loser eat shit!! Your fucking faggot ass knows you’ve never been intimate with a woman in your life, and probably never will. Unlike you I am a real man who knows that deep down all women fantasize about being raped. YOU’RE JUST A LOUD MOUTH IDIOT.
Stick to the issues or shut the fuck up!
I am a real man who knows that deep down all women fantasize about being raped.???? How fucking retarded are you? I am a woman who has been raped by my stepfather and did not enjoy losing my virginity or all the other times I tried in vain to fight him off only to be beat more for fighting. People like you need to be locked up you sick fuck!!! What the fuck is wrong in your head!!! I fucking hate you!!! You stupid fuck!!! FUCK YOU!!!
Yawn……excuse me while I puke, you don’t hate me, you hate all men. Give it a rest, you’re boring me Brooke, and if you believe half the bullshit you read you on the internet, you should get yourself into therapy.
Some women may tend to fantasize about guys who wish to take them, with some (small) measure of forcefulness and unbridled lust, these are guys who those same women secretly desire to have sex with… a “rape-ish” fantasy, if you will, but only a mentally deficent woman would want some stranger popping them in the back of the head with a short piece of pipe, ripping off her panties, and force feeding his grubby cock into her pussy, while grinding her face into the asphalt of an alleyway ! If you slide your cock into a women’s mouth, anus or vagina without her fully cognizant permission, (that means she’s not drunk as PHUCK) your cock and balls should be cut off with piano wire and you should be sodomized with a small wooden baseball bat. Have a smurphy day !
hey both of my parents remarried after they divorced. Thus I got two step sisters in two different towns and states. we enjoyed sex a lot. My step mom got great tits and an awesome blow job. They are the ones who live out of state. My mom enjoyed by step brothers when we were all younger back then. So, if both are ok, why not?!
both the dad and step-daughter are adults and legal ages.plus they are not related by birth.
Brooke,
The outlandish comments made about rape fantasies makes me ashamed to be male. I’ve always believed that nobody has the right to force another into something against their wishes. My belief in this is strengthened exponentially to the point where the intrusive violation of a persons body is the ultimate crime against humanity. People like cooterluver just give more weight to the saying that “all men are pigs”. On behalf of the decent members of my gender, I offer you my sincerest apologies.
