An 18-Year-Old Said She Was Raped While In Police Custody. The Officers Say She Consented. She thought it would be a simple case. She had no idea she lived in one of 35 states where officers can claim a detainee consented.

I think it should be prohibited to have sex on the job, as it is with every job. And if someone is in custody, that should be considered statutory rape as they are by default being coerced. Even consensual sex to get out of a ticket should be considered rape.

I could not agree more.

Please forgive my ignorance on this: surely we already have laws on the books to prevent any type of sex with someone whilst they are detained, right?
