I think you're misunderstanding the article... give it a read

But Anna didn’t know that in New York, there is no law specifically stating that it is illegal for police officers or sheriff’s deputies in the field to have sex with someone in their custody.

I did. You need to read it yourself. The article itself is biased and fallaciously claims that this is a "loophole". Not having a law preventing something is not a loophole. You were bamboozled by a deceitful author.

I never said it was a loophole. I said the law is morally wrong. You're misrepresenting my argument

The article calls it a loophole. The one you told ME to read. And there is no law.
