Dear men...Lying to get sex may now become a crime...hehe!

If you have ever lied to someone just to get them to sleep with you, you better read this before you land in prison...lol. There's a new bill that's being looked into in New Jersey that would make having sex with someone by lying to them a crime. It's called Sexual Assault by deception.

For instance, if there was somewhere that a burned lover could turn to if she discovered that the man who told her he was childless not only had a 10-year-old, but also a pregnant side chick? That would be considered a crime if the bill passes.

Or if the person they're sleeping with showed them photos of a beautiful home he claimed to own but in reality was living in his parents' basement?
In other words, if a woman is duped into having sex they could have the man arrested.
Mischele Lewis, a 37-year-old suburban-mom-turned-activist is the inspiration behind this bill in New Jersey.
This bill was actually introduced late last year to make "sexual assault by fraud" a punishable offense.
The bill defines it as "an act of sexual penetration to which a person has given consent because the actor has misrepresented the purpose of the act or has represented he is someone he is not."
"I think it's important because trying to deceive anyone for the purpose of sexual gratification is just wrong," Lewis said. "Every person has the right to knowing consent. And before they consent to be intimate with anybody, they should absolutely know 100 percent who it is that they are being intimate with.
"Whether it's as simple as say they slip off their wedding ring and then they engage in a relationship with someone, but the man or woman has no idea that the person they are with is married," she added. "Lying to someone else for any reason is never OK, whether it be [for] a job, a relationship, criminal history, parental history, marital history . . .. When did we become a society that thinks it's completely acceptable to lie to other people on a daily basis and think that's morally OK?"
Should it pass, such a bill would open up a whole realm of possibilities for tricked lovers.
"On the one hand, we want law enforcement to have the law on their side in order to go after sexual predators who try to lure victims into sexual situations through deceit," pointed out Kathleen Bogle, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University. "On the other hand, many people lie to get sex and we may not want to cast too broad of a net in pursuing these situations through criminal law.
"Most people would agree that lying to obtain sex is immoral, but only a fraction of those scenarios should be punishable by criminal law," she added.
She's right about not clogging up the legal system.
But there's such a thing as principle. As Yale law professor Jed Rubenfield wrote in a 2013 edition of the Yale Law Review, "Rape-by-deception is almost universally rejected in American criminal law. But if rape is sex without the victim's consent - as many courts, state statutes and scholars say it is - then sex-by-deception ought to be rape, because as courts have held for a hundred years in virtually every area of the law outside of rape, a consent procured through deception is no consent at all."
Meanwhile, Lewis, whose dating horror story was chronicled in the Daily News last year and later on NBC's "Dateline," is recuperating from the shock of discovering that the man she met on an online dating site back in 2013 was a con artist.
Not only had the man she knew as Liam Allen lied to her about his legal name, but instead of being some sort of secret agent of the British government, as he claimed, he had served time in the U.K. for bigamy. He also had failed to register as a sex offender and had been convicted of indecent assault of a minor.
But back when she was falling madly in love, Lewis, a labor and delivery nurse, knew nothing about Jordan's nefarious ways. When she was handing over $5,000 for a phony security clearance, she had no clue that she was just Jordan's latest victim.

In November, he pleaded guilty to third-degree theft by deception and was ordered to pay restitution. He's currently serving a three-year prison sentence in New Jersey.

    1. Linda, forget it, it's not gonna pass. If per chance it passes, it will be challenged and, eventually, declared unconstitutional for breach of freedom of speech. Americans don't joke with that first amendment right. Not just that, it will be a nightmare to enforce as it will over broad and subject to various interpretations. The evasive nature of the law will be a ground for nullification. The courts are already burdened with so many cases, both genuine and frivolous, and it won't be nice to open another door for an avalanche of frivolous cases which, definitely, will be the end result of such law.

  23. While they are at it, they should also outlaw wearing weaves, padded bras, tights and fake lashes! They can go a step further and stop sex changes and transitioning as they are all forms of deceptions!! Since they want to be stupid, let's go all the way!!!

  36. Every man lie a little to sleep with a girl. The enormity of the lie depends on your personality. A woman will not sleep with an honest man, unless of course she is desperately in need of husband. Wise and keeping Mr Dildo by the side. Women know men are lying, but who cares they too want it. This bill is useless and stupid if passed.

  43. I hope there will be a law also for women who wear makes ups, breast implants, butt pad etc and lie about their age to ensnare men into a relationship. Also, those who get pregnant for one man and then give it to the preferred other in order hook them in a relationship.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Linda, how is she going to prove that he lied to her? Is she going to carry a tape recorder throughout? Secondly, women with fake boobs and make up nko? is that not deception to make them appear more beautiful than they are?

    Anyway, nothing new about this. A palestinian man was actually jailed in Israel for lying that he was jewish before having sex with her.

    Though this one did not result in any incarceration, but in China, a man was allowed to divorce his wife after discovering that she was not pretty enough. She had been ugly initially but used plastic surgery to make herself fine. It was only after the birth of their child who turn out not to be fine that the husband found out
