Me: Did you at any time love the petitioner?
Respondent: No. We just had sex. It sounds selfish, and I am sorry, but I never loved her, I just used her for sex.
Court: Then why are you opposing the protection order?
Respondent’s counsel: If I may say something, Your Honor, the selfishness of the respondent is not a ground for the issuance of the protection order.
Court: It is.
Respondent’s counsel: It is not.
Court: Atty. Isles?
Me: I am not selfish when it comes to sex, Your Honor.
