Ottawa man not guilty because he thought he could have sex with wife anytime
Excerpt: An Ottawa man has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting his wife because of his honest belief that he had the right to have intercourse with her whenever he wanted. In a written ruling, Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Smith said the Crown failed to prove that the accused had formed the required criminal intent — mens rea — to sexually assault his wife in 2002. (Say, judge, if he beheads you and thinks it's right by his religion, does he get off? ~Bob)
