Barry Hovis (born 1964 or 1965) is an American politician. He is a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from the 146th District, serving since 2019. He is a member of the Republican party.[2]

On May 17, 2019 while speaking in the House of Representatives of Missouri he used the term "consensual rape."[3][4] He later apologized and provided different explanations. He reported to the associated press that he meant to say, "consensual or rape" [5] "When pressed on whether that explanation made sense in the context of the rest of his sentence, he said that he believes there is no such thing as “consensual rape.”[5] Later when speaking to KCTV5 via phone he stated he was using "street language" in situations where somebody got drunk at a party and then reported a rape in a "he said - she said" situation.[6] Speaking to the Southeast Missourian he stated "he did not realize he had used the term “consensual rapes” until it was pointed out by a House colleague."[7] He went on to state these were situations where there was a "difference of opinion between the two parties".[7] There is no record resolving the explanations.
