Original Note:
Until Jan 2024, the definition of rape under NY law (“intercourse…without…consent” - penetration w/ a penis) differed from dictionaries and other state laws, which include other objects. The jury found that “[he]…penetrated [her] vagina with his fingers” (sexual abuse). https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.25 https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis-crt-sd-new-yor/114642632.html https://ndaa.org/wp-content/uploads/sexual-assault-chart.pdf https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/new-york-expands-legal-definition-of-rape-what-it-means-for-victims-of-sexual-assault/5089489/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/07/donald-trump-rape-language-e-jean-carroll
