Precedent? Which ones? To the best of my knowledge, no other court has made a similar ruling and had it upheld on appeal.

And precedence doesn't completely tie judges hands. If the judge really thought the precedent was wrong, then s/he should've ruled otherwise and fed the case right into the appeal's court mouth.

This just seems like a very odd ruling.

This seems like a rather abstract way of complaining about this ruling.

Which, by the way, I don't completely disagree with. The court maintained that after sex has been initiated, it is still acceptable to bring forth abuse and assault charges, but rape charges were not appropriate. I think thats right. If rape is unwanted penetration, then rape can't happen after consenting penetration. But surely abuse and assault can.
