This is a terrible, yet interesting story. According to Smith she was having consensual sex with a friend, and it turned into an assault. Per the article:
I don't have much of a desire to discuss the rape aspect, because if she feels she was raped I'm certainly not the one to tell her different. I do find it interesting that she was able to use an extremely old law to begin a path for getting, what she feels, is justice. Something I didn't know:
I wonder if those other states will have some women seeing this and thinking to themselves, "maybe that's something I should try." It would be good to see more options for women that get assaulted. I truly believe the laws aren't as current as they could be.
