No means NO

Aalayah Palmer was at a party when a man pulled her into the bathroom for sex. She was willing. Within 5 minutes into it, it turned violent. He pulled locks of her hair out. She asked him to stop and he didn't listen. She asked him several times. She thought she had been raped. She completed a raped kit. That took hours. She found out that under North Carolina law a woman is not allowed to back out of sex once it is underway. In 1979, the North Carolina Supreme Court, in State v. Way, ruled that women cannot revoke consent after sexual intercourse begins. Because of the 1979 ruling, the rape charge was changed to a misdemeanor assault charge. This is not right and needs to be changed. No means no.
