Glad I don’t live in Georgia
I don’t usually read Feministing, but one of the jezzes pointed to this post in a discussion: Lookit.
Scared to look? Then hows about a highlight:
Under Georgia state law, and federal law, a victim’s sexual history with third parties is supposed to be irrelevant. The result of this case is that any victim who brings a civil claim for sexual battery in Georgia must be prepared to discuss all of her previous sexual partners. The judge ultimately found Ross was not raped in part because, as all that testimony showed, she was not a virgin.
Emphasis mine.
Anyone want to take a crack? Because I sure don’t have the words.
