Sex abuse case may test new standard for consent

A Transportation Security Administration officer at Washington Dulles Airport has been charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old Montgomery County girl, a case that may serve as the first test of Maryland’s highest court’s recent decision that consent can be withdrawn during intercourse.

According to court documents, Troy Daniel Fisher, 25, had sex with the girl on May 22 in his Olney home. The next day, the girl told police that despite having originally consented, she withdrew that consent in the midst of intercourse.
