That's a Rape Defense I've Not Heard Before.

Any prosecutor will tell you that there are only three defenses offered in rape prosecutions. They are:

1. Attack the victim's honesty (Bitch Lied);

2. Mistaken identity (some other dude did it, aka "SODDI");

3. Consent (Bitch wanted it).

Now a fellow in Lake City, Florida, has offered what I'll call the Flip Wilson defense: demonic possession.

A man who police said tried to sexually assault a 13-year-old girl told arresting officers that “the devil tried to rape her in my body,” according to a report.

His mother got involved, too:

He told the girl to stop resisting,’ the report stated, but she was able to shove him to the ground and escape. He went after her but he was stopped by his mother.

Note that mom didn't stop the attempted rape itself, but only his attempt to catch the fleeing victim. Didn't want Sonny Boy wearing himself out running in the summer heat, no doubt.



And yeah, he's a Usual Suspect®, according to his Columbia County booking photo.
