California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Roundtree, 77 Cal. App.4th 846, 91 Cal.Rptr.2d 921 (Cal. App. 2000):
Here, appellant contends that this court's departure from the decision in People v. Vela, supra, 172 Cal.App.3d at p. 237 and its "expansive definition" of the rape statute has made his conduct rape when it did not constitute rape at the time of the incident. Appellant is mistaken.
