Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Eric Rogers
Last Update: June 16, 2020
What's at Stake
On June 9, 2020, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û Women's Rights Project and ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û of Pennsylvania, along with 25 additional nonprofit organizations, joined an amicus brief led by the Women's Law Project and AEquitas in support of exclusion of a complainant’s criminal record for prostitution-related offenses as evidence in a sexual assault case. The amicus brief argues that a complainant’s sexual history with others is irrelevant to proving consent and that permitting evidence of a complainant’s prior prostitution arrests and convictions would reinforce gender and racial biases.
