No, the law isnt normally enforced, but the man's wife accused him of rape. In the trial, the man admitted to oral sex. The woman consented, but no matter. The judge told the jury that since the man admitted oral sex on the stand, he MUST be sentenced for the crime. Georgians for the Banishment of Neanderthal Sex Laws are working in the legislature to try to get the law changed, but this isnt likely. In the bible belt, no legislator wants to be on record as voting for anything that would embarrass Jesse Helms. Bryan Sorry, no .sig yet...
