Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A person commits rape if he engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual activity with another person: (3) Who is less than fourteen (14) years of age. It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this subdivision that the actor was not more than two (2) years older than the victim. The legislature has defined “deviate sexual activity” as: (A) The penetration, however slight, of the anus or mouth of one person by the penis of another; or (B) The penetration, however slight of the vagina or anus of one person by any body member of foreign instrument manipulated by another person.”
