CBS Bay Area: Bay Area Lawmakers, DA's Seek Removal Of Spousal Rape Exceptions
Rape is rape, regardless who the perpetrator or the survivor is.
That’s the message Assemblymembers Evan Low, D-Campbell, Cristina Garcia, D-Downey, and state Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, are hoping to send with two state bills that seek to remove spousal rape exceptions. The legislators joined Bay Area district attorneys and local advocates Monday to discuss the bills.
