Ohio lawmakers are looking at removing the statute of limitations and other loopholes for cases of rape.
According to details released of a new Senate Bill, the statute of limitations would be completely removed as would an oddity in the current law, which allows spouses to have sex with their partners even if they are incapacitated by drugs or alcohol.
The proposal comes not long after Governor DeWine called for an end to the rape statute in the wake of allegations over a 30-year period at Ohio State against a former doctor in the Athletic Department.
Ohio is currently one of 16 states in the country that still has a statute of limitations on rape charges.
