A Man is challenging his conviction for the rape of a woman who slept willingly with him after he falsely claiming to have had a vasectomy. How can someone be guilty of rape if your partner has consented to sex, and what the case means?

"I have A Confession . I'm still fertile. Sorry xxx"

Sally - not her real name - was dismayed when she read the text message from Jason Lawrance, A Man she had met through a dating site. "Are you serious?" You texted back. "Are you talking about bastard. Why the hell would you do to me?"

Before Sally had sex with Lawrence he told her he had "the snip", and she agreed to have sex without a condom, But never would have done if you had known, Lawrance was fruitful. She had no idea.

Then 42, and already A Mother , Sally did not want to have Another Child . You took The Morning after pill, But became pregnant, then went through The Ordeal of Abortion .

Jason Lawrance is an appeal process against his conviction for the rape of Sally Lawrance, went on before, from Leicestershire, because they had had sex, two times - in a case with no known precedent in the UK.

", says a person consents if he or she agrees by choice and has the freedom and the ability to make a choice," said Sue Matthews, senior crown Prosecutor, of the case together. "By lying about the vasectomy, he is deprived of that particular victim, to make an informed choice. "

"When you have these beliefs, the concern is that members of The Public , men and women, the said, never as a criminal in The Eyes of The Law , the risk of prosecution for serious sexual offences", Draycott Lawrance lawyer Shaun.

Lawrance is far from alone in the deception of a sexual partner, to get sex. So others who are pursuing this now could?

Could remove, to include a condom as rape? Men's main stated reason for the avoidance of condoms, the sex even more enjoyable, Kelly Davis, associate professor at Arizona State University, was The Men and women interviewed within the age of 21-30 over "condom-resistance", so the tactics used to avoid the use of condoms, if The Other partner wants. Out of the 313 men, at least Once since the age of 14 years.

The Most common tactic was in excess of the planning to withdraw before ejaculation, But you don't actually intend to (19. 9%), followed by lying around, he was tested for Sexually transmitted infections and STI-free (9. 6%).

Dr Davis and her fellow researchers have also focus groups with Young Men . "Of course, these men drew The Line was with physical force," She Said . "Everything up to this line, only a part of The Game , because that was how some of the Young Men shown in this group. "

at least Once since the age of 14 years, with The Most common tactics, as he pretends to be on Birth Control .

Dr. Davis and her colleagues also what means, to remove the agreement to use a condom, and then secretly, is it before or during sex. Again, The Men surveyed were in the age range of 21-30. Almost 10% of the 626 part of the approved participants involved in stealthing at least Once since the age of 14 years.

"I was shocked that it is almost 10% reported to do this, and at an average of about Three Times ," Dr. Davis said. "So not only are you do it Once - Well Yes, some are - But many of them do it several times. It is disturbing. "

Twelve percent of the interviewed women reported to know that stealthing happens to them, although some recognized the perhaps never, that it was going to happen. Many people would not be stealthing keep rape, But , an attorney who specializes in cases of sexual misconduct, believes it is under UK law.

The Problem has been considered by the judge as part of the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in the extradition case, and in the UK, if The Other partners had only agreed under the condition that a condom was used.

What if A Man resign? Katie Russell, national spokesperson for rape crisis, believes that the lies about the intention to withdraw prior to ejaculation fall under the legal definition of rape. "This is an example of someone agreed to have sex with conditions, and The Other party failed to heed the agreed conditions," She Said .

Ms Paul said, such a case was already considered by a UK court, and it. "She wanted more children and agreed to have sex, if he withdrew before he ejaculated," said Ms. Paul. "He seems to have decided, But there was enough evidence to show he had not to withdraw the intention. "

The CPS decided not to prosecute The Man for rape, The Woman sought a judicial review of the decision. "The Admin court made it clear that in their view there was good reason for the CPS to charge; what happened, was capable, in the amount of a crime, that you had their consent, was cancelled to withdraw its never the intention," said Ms. Paul. "It was sent back to check the CPS, their decision is based on what was said to the court. "

The BBC asked the CPS whether The Man was ever prosecuted, But it could not provide The Information .

Could count for lying about an STI test as rape? In a survey of Young Men , 9. 6% gifts lying around, he was tested think for Sexually transmitted infections and STI-free Ms Paul, lying around, he had a STI test is more of a grey area.

"It is difficult," She Said . "I think that, probably, when we made the baby steps of the decision-that is, on Lawrance, as we must do, in The Absence of the legislation, then possibly. "

There are already some accusations of men, the infected Partner with HIV, and three examples from the recent time. However, they were charged with aggravated assault, rather than sexual offences.

What happens when a woman is on the pill? Lawrance defense lawyer David Emanuel QC to its customers, about the vasectomy to a woman who lies about being on the pill. He argued that if Lawrence were sentenced for rape if they lie on the barren, then The Woman could be convicted of a sexual offense, a similar act of deception.

in accordance with applicable law in England and Wales, because rape is defined under the as a criminal act of penetration committed with a penis. and also specifies that a rape is committed, a penis.

Ms Russell has a problem with the vasectomy, and the pill comparison. "With issues around contraception and pregnancy, it is The Woman whose life and health is affected, the type of lie," She Said . "This is not in any way comparing like-for-like, because it is not a woman that has to do with the consequences of the pregnancy and the termination, and in the example given, the impact on the people in a comparable way. "

But Ms Paul is not so sure. "The question is, to what extent The Lie , vitiates (negates) the consent," She Said . "If A Man is the father of a child finds himself in these circumstances, there are all sorts of consequences resulting from that.

"It could be argued that there is a double standard. In so many areas of life, we [women] have equality and demand to be treated with the same level of respect as The Men . Where The Lie than to create a criminal liability is exactly the same, I think it is problematic to carve out areas where we are protected just because we are women. "

What if someone lies about their gender? Gayle Newland pretending to be A Man , convinced by your sexual partner to wear a blindfold and penetrated you with a prosthetic penis There are several charges in which women impersonated men to have sexual encounters with other women, or where trans men have not disclosed their gender assigned female Partner. Note contain values, cases, and.

in Many such cases, with the use of a dildo and, since rape is a crime of invasion committed with a penis has, in the indictment, sexual assault, or bodily injury to penetration. In the case of McNally, which is found as a teenager during a relationship with a teenage girl, the court of appeal that.

, However, have raised cases such as these, sometimes called "gender fraud", questions about the rights of people with " gender dysphoria, and whether or not transgender people to disclose their gender assigned to partners should. who was involved in transgender law reform and activism for over 20 years, is among those with concerns.

"Most of the people followed on the basis of sexual fraud appear to be, gender non-conforming, so that there is a Problem of the segregation of certain types of human transgression, or for law enforcement," She Said . Prof Sharpe believes that a trans man is not to deceive, a female partner, if he presents himself as A Man , because he is A Man .

What is The Other ? Several of The Women had sexual relationships with undercover police officers embedded in activist groups. One of these women, argues this Scam, because the officers knew, there was no informed consent.
