“The so-called "rough sex gone wrong" defence will be outlawed in new domestic abuse legislation a justice minister has told MPs.”

@CaraDune

Some very good news. Well done to everyone in the "We can't consent to this" campaign for all their hard work.
Yes. Brilliant news. Should never have been considered a reasonable defence at all.

Definitely, amazing work from everyone involved.

Great news

About time! I'm not sure how it ever became an acceptable defence in the first place! There must have been at least a tiny window in the 20th century when killing someone female was viewed as seriously as killing someone male Hmm

Excellent! Fantastic campaigning!! Well done Fiona and everyone involved (and also thank you to the MPs who supported this.)

@BlooperReel

That's great news, it's a disgrace it's ever been allowed as a defence
100% agree

That's good to hear. Thank You to everyone who has been working towards this.

SeasonallySnowyPeasant · 16/06/2020 22:06

About time too. It’s disgraceful that this was a) allowed as a defence; and b) not legislators against after the first case like this.

LastTrainEast · 16/06/2020 22:06

That is really good news.

Susanna85 · 16/06/2020 22:01

👍

ThePurported · 16/06/2020 22:00

Good.
Those who allowed it to become a thing in the first place need to look in the mirror.

terryleather · 16/06/2020 21:58

This is excellent news.

I can’t quite put into words the contempt I have for lawyers who used this.
