“Furthermore, we have previously noted that North Carolina law does not recognize the “continuous course of conduct” theory: In State v. Dudley, 319 N.C. 656, 659 , 356 S.E.2d 361, 363 (1987), the Supreme Court cited with approval language from State v. Small, 31 N.C. App. 556 , 230 S.E.2d 425 (1977): ‘Generally rape is not a continuous offense, but each act of intercourse constitutes a distinct and separate offense.’ The General Assembly has criminalized each act of statutory rape, not a course of conduct. Any changes in the manner in which a course of criminal conduct is punished must come from the legislative branch and not from the judicial branch.””
