Dear men...Lying to get sex may now become a crime...hehe!

If you have ever lied to someone just to get them

to sleep with you, you better read this before you

land in prison...lol. There's a new bill that's

being looked into in New Jersey that would make

having sex with someone by lying to them a crime.

It's called Sexual Assault by deception.

For instance, if there was somewhere that a

burned lover could turn to if she discovered that

the man who told her he was childless not only had

a 10-year-old, but also a pregnant side chick?

That would be considered a crime if the bill

passes.

Or if the person they're sleeping with showed

them photos of a beautiful home he claimed to

own but in reality was living in his parents'

basement?

In other words, if a woman is duped into having

sex they could have the man arrested.

Mischele Lewis, a 37-year-old suburban-mom-

turned-activist is the inspiration behind this bill in

New Jersey.

This bill was actually introduced late last year to

make "sexual assault by fraud" a punishable

offense.

The bill defines it as "an act of sexual penetration

to which a person has given consent because the

actor has misrepresented the purpose of the act

or has represented he is someone he is not."

"I think it's important because trying to

deceive anyone for the purpose of sexual

gratification is just wrong," Lewis said.

"Every person has the right to knowing

consent. And before they consent to be

intimate with anybody, they should

absolutely know 100 percent who it is that

they are being intimate with.

"Whether it's as simple as say they slip off

their wedding ring and then they engage in

a relationship with someone, but the man

or woman has no idea that the person they

are with is married," she added. "Lying to

someone else for any reason is never OK,

whether it be [for] a job, a relationship,

criminal history, parental history, marital

history . . .. When did we become a society

that thinks it's completely acceptable to lie

to other people on a daily basis and think

that's morally OK?"

Should it pass, such a bill would open up a whole

realm of possibilities for tricked lovers.

"On the one hand, we want law enforcement to

have the law on their side in order to go after

sexual predators who try to lure victims into

sexual situations through deceit," pointed out

Kathleen Bogle, assistant professor of sociology

and criminal justice at La Salle University. "On

the other hand, many people lie to get sex and we

may not want to cast too broad of a net in

pursuing these situations through criminal law.

"Most people would agree that lying to obtain sex

is immoral, but only a fraction of those scenarios

should be punishable by criminal law," she added.

She's right about not clogging up the legal

system.

But there's such a thing as principle. As Yale law

professor Jed Rubenfield wrote in a 2013 edition

of the Yale Law Review , "Rape-by-deception is

almost universally rejected in American criminal

law. But if rape is sex without the victim's consent

- as many courts, state statutes and scholars say

it is - then sex-by-deception ought to be rape,

because as courts have held for a hundred years

in virtually every area of the law outside of rape,

a consent procured through deception is no

consent at all."

Meanwhile, Lewis, whose dating horror story was

chronicled in the Daily News last year and later on

NBC's "Dateline," is recuperating from the shock

of discovering that the man she met on an online

dating site back in 2013 was a con artist.

Not only had the man she knew as Liam Allen lied

to her about his legal name, but instead of being

some sort of secret agent of the British

government, as he claimed, he had served time in

the U.K. for bigamy. He also had failed to

register as a sex offender and had been convicted

of indecent assault of a minor.

But back when she was falling madly in love, Lewis,

a labor and delivery nurse, knew nothing about

Jordan's nefarious ways. When she was handing

over $5,000 for a phony security clearance, she

had no clue that she was just Jordan's latest

victim.

In November, he pleaded guilty to third-degree

theft by deception and was ordered to pay

restitution. He's currently serving a three-year

prison sentence in New Jersey.
