False claims of rape are real and more numerous then people want to think. This almost guarantees that any claim of rape will lead to a prosecution.
Soon they will be arresting people for bad thoughts!
Hate crime laws are double-jeopardy for 'bad thoughts' already. But legal.
I don't see this law as a problem. Should be saying yes verbally to sex. Some people freeze and become catatonic for example when things get sexual, they're being silent isn't then consent so much as being petrified.
