English judges rule lying about fertility to sexual partner is not rape

Jason Lawrance brought appeal after he was convicted for lying about a vasectomy before sex

A convicted rapist could make a bid for early release after winning an appeal in which judges ruled that lying to a sexual partner about being infertile is not rape.

Jason Lawrance, a serial sex attacker who is serving a number of life sentences, was found guilty last July of raping a woman twice after lying to her about having had a vasectomy.
