Warren v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia
336 S.E.2d 221 (1985)
Relevant factsFree
Warren (defendant) was indicted for raping and committing aggravated sodomy against his wife; he moved to dismiss, arguing an implicit marital exception in the state's rape and sodomy statutes made it legally impossible to convict a husband of these crimes against his own wife. The trial court denied the motion, and Warren obtained an interlocutory appeal.
IssueFree
Whether a husband may be criminally charged with the rape and aggravated sodomy of his wife.
