But the trial judge, Justice Marvin Zuker, paid the defense case no mind, dismissed out of hand the core essence of consent. Rape myths are genuine: erroneous, stereotypical and prejudicial beliefs woven together to justify or exculpate sexual assault at trial.

If Gray did so and Ururyar imposed sex on her, against her will, that’s sexual assault.
