Summary
This document appears to be a page (257) from a book manuscript or draft dated April 2, 2012. The text is a legal analysis, likely by a law professor (contextually Alan Dershowitz), discussing the legal concept of 'mistake of fact' in rape cases. The author uses the filming of *Deep Throat* and a case involving Hmong marriage traditions in California as examples to argue that reasonable mistakes regarding consent should be considered in legal judgments.
