According to this article, about 40 U.S. states have “rape by fraud” laws.
One noteworthy case was that of Tennessee’s “Fantasy Man”:
*"NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The phone rings late at night. In a sexy whisper, a man persuades a woman to unlock her door, undress, put on a blindfold and wait for him in bed.
At least three women did so, thinking he was their boyfriend, and had sex with the so-called Fantasy Man–one woman twice a week for two months.
Now they want police to charge Raymond Mitchell III with rape.
The 45-year-old businessman says he was just fulfilling the women’s fantasies and the sex was consensual.
Police aren’t sure what to do. Investigators are looking at whether Mitchell claimed to be someone else, which could constitute rape by fraud.
Fantasy Man has become the talk of Nashville. And tabloid television has been calling.
“My callers can’t believe how incredibly stupid, gullible and horny women can be,” said WLAC talk radio host Dave Macy."*
(Good luck getting a date, Mr. Macy.)
In the midst of the hysteria in the Boston area over the Boston Strangler murders in the '60s, there was a guy posing as a physician who specialized in calling up women, telling them he’d met them earlier at a party on Beacon Hill and wondered if they could get together.
He wound up, um, intimate with an amazing number of them. The Boston P.D. eventually nabbed him on a charge of “gross lewdness”.
I suspect these sorts of rape by fraud laws are on the books in other countries as well.
Assuming that ethnic/religious prejudices/taboos in relation to sex are unique to Israel, strikes me as at the very least, incredibly naive.
