He claimed the concept had an "abnormal logic" and noted that, "I can predict one day we will find a case of a bad man joining with a bad police officer to slander a women as a rapist." He is also noted for his opposition to reforms that would make it a crime for husbands to rape their wives. He noted, "Many wives in this country still have to depend on their husbands. They might be upset by their husbands but if asked whether they want to divorce or put their husband in jail, they would say 'no'. The man might take revenge on his wife after being released from jail."
