THE VIRGINIA FORNICATION LAW REPEAL IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO LAW

2/11/2020

Virginia Fornication Law repeal is one step closer to law. Lawmakers in Virginia are closing a legal loophole that could charge unmarried people with a crime for having consensual sex. The House of Delegates passed a bill this week that aims to repeal the crime of fornication, which makes it illegal for people to have consensual sex outside of marriage. Currently, fornication is a class 4 misdemeanor and carries a fine of up to $250. Delegate Mark Levine, of Alexandria, introduced House Bill 245 to repeal what he called a Victorian-era law. The Virginia Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional in 2005.
