Vermont Senator Proposes Rape Law Revisions
Sen. David Gibson of Windham County backs changes to a proposed Vermont rape law. He argues defense should be allowed to introduce a victim’s past sexual conduct if she is a prostitute or known for promiscuity. The plan aims to shield victims from cross examination of sexual history unless directly relevant to the case. Gibson also urges allowing separate trials for multiple defendants in gang rape cases to avoid repeat appearances by the victim.
