GOP state lawmaker says he misspoke on 'consensual rape'

[JonLP24]

A Republican Missouri state lawmaker is apologizing after he referred to some sexual assaults as “date rapes or consensual rapes” as his chamber debated a bill that would ban abortions after eight weeks.

State Rep. Barry Hovis, a former police officer, was talking about some of the rape cases he dealt with during his time in law enforcement.

“Let’s just say someone goes out and they’re raped or they’re sexually assaulted one night after a college party — because most of my rapes were not the gentleman jumping out of the bushes that nobody had ever met,” Hovis said during his remarks.

“That was one or two times out of 100 ... Most of them were date rapes or consensual rapes, which were all terrible,” he continued.

7. Consensual Rape

I'm surprised Orwell didn't use that one in 1984 along with War is Peace...

8. Notice that the stranger rapist is referred to as a "gentleman"

Quite a lot of "misspeaking" going on in that quote....

11. At the risk of someone alerting on me,

more men need to experience rape. Maybe then they'd have a clue.

12. Well, that's what I first thought he was referring to with "most of my rapes"

Then I realized he was discussing the ones he committed in uniform.
