A Newport News [VA] woman charged with a felony for receiving oral sex in a car is challenging a state law that prohibits certain types of sex between consenting adults.
A police officer says he found the 21-year-old woman in a parked car receiving oral sex from a man about 3 a.m. Jan. 29. Both were charged with a felony under the statute for crimes against nature.
The woman's attorney is arguing that the charge is unconstitutional because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a Texas case that states can't pass laws that restrict the private sex lives of consenting adults.
Virginia's statute on crimes against nature says people can't have oral or anal sex, whether homosexual or heterosexual. But the law doesn't specify whether the sex is illegal in public or in private.
