Adamu Taye Chan

Holy shit! Adamu!?... I know both Dan and Adamu.. I can't believe he would do such a thing]"I've known him since he was 3 years old," Agress said. "He's a friend of my oldest son. He's very talented, very charming, very well-spoken. I find it very hard to believe that he raped a woman." - from the article[/quote]
Hhhhmm.. Strange..

even the part about oral copulation? California Penal Code Section 288.5

(f) Any person who commits an act of oral copulation, and the victim is at the time unconscious of the nature of the act and this is known to the person committing the act, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, six, or eight years. As used in this subdivision, "unconscious of the nature of the act" means incapable of resisting because the victim meets one of the following conditions:
..
(4) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant of the essential characteristics of the act due to the perpetrator's fraudulent representation that the oral copulation served a professional purpose when it served no professional purpose.

So if he convinced the girl he was a professional, and it turned out he was not such a pro, he'd be in trouble.

Another possibility:

(j) Any person who commits an act of oral copulation, where the victim submits under the belief that the person committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by any artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with intent to induce the belief, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, six, or eight years.

Is it possible he fooled her into thinking he was her husband? Apparently this would have landed him in trouble too. Remember he's a TV personality - it's likely his acting skills are top-notch.

Remember, folks - be sure you are 100% clear about your credentials when you perform oral copulation in California. Ki o tsukete ne!

Why the euphemism? It should just be the 'Penis Code'..

Still can't believe he would do it..

Wouldn't that depend upon who is the gobbler and who is the gobblee?
