Depressing Rape Laws

For those who think I'm just being a whiny liberal when I complain about the depressing rape laws, here's exhibit A, courtesy of the great state of South Carolina:

§ 16-3-658. Criminal sexual conduct: where victim is spouse.

A person cannot be guilty of criminal sexual conduct under Sections 16-3-651 through 16-3-659.1 if the victim is the legal spouse unless the couple is living apart and the offending spouse's conduct constitutes criminal sexual conduct in the first degree or second degree as defined by Sections 16-3-652 and 16-3-653.

The offending spouse's conduct must be reported to appropriate law enforcement authorities within thirty days in order for a person to be prosecuted for these offenses.

South Carolina does have a separate law for cases of sexual battery against a spouse, but it requires "use of aggravated force, defined as the use or the threat of use of a weapon or the use or threat of use of physical force or physical violence of a high and aggravated nature" and, again, must be reported within 30 days.

What year is it?
