What is the argument that the sexual assault statute violates the equal protection clause?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Pierce, 72 Cal.App.4th 1448, 86 Cal.Rptr.2d 30 (Cal. App. 1999):
Appellant contends the statute also violates the equal protection clause because it establishes a different standard for those who are charged with sex offenses as compared to those who are charged with nonsex offenses. We again turn to People v. Fitch which addressed this argument as well.
