Man who pierced holes in condoms is jailed for rape - court treating this more severely than "sex by deception"

I'm posting because it seems that although there have been some cases of "sex by deception" discussed on FWR I dont think any of them were convicted of rape.

But I may have misremembered and as far as the law is concerned and maybe there isn't actually any legal definition of "sex by deception".

Was happily surprised to see most comments agreed with the judgement.

I agree, OP, the comments were very heartening.

@SheepandCow

It's not unknown for women to do this to, try to get pregnant (I know of a friend who contemplated it). Will they risk being charged in future?
Do you think we could keep to the topic at hand, without ‘what aboutery’? Feel free to start a discussion on your topic, but it’s really bloody annoying when people start centring the poor menz on a topic about the rape of a woman.

I think I was remembering this case where a man lied about having a vasectomy but wasn't convicted www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3976297-Lying-about-vasectomy-doesn-t-make-it-rape
