The man and woman involved in the incident are 20-year-old Ohio University students. A grand jury asked to consider the case on Monday returned "no bills," meaning they found no basis for criminal charges.[/QUOTE] Good. Although I think that false rape accusations shouldn´t go unpunished.

The girl never filed charges, so eh. It's rather pathetic that so many people were distracted away from important issues, children missing, etc. To find a goddamned couple.

[quote]"If she was drunk at all, she was too drunk to consent," she said. "If she was too drunk to remember anything, she was definitely too drunk to consent." [/quote] I gotta agree on this, actually.

[QUOTE=MR2;42717690]I gotta agree on this, actually.[/QUOTE] While I don't personally disagree with you, the law in some places makes exceptions that basically state people who intentionally get intoxicated and have otherwise consensual sex aren't being raped.

[QUOTE=MR2;42717690]I gotta agree on this, actually.[/QUOTE] I hate this shit. Dude was drunk too. I don't think it's so simple as "if the female party is drunk she can't consent", maybe by the law, but it doesn't make fucking sense. At that point you might as well make it rape for both involved if they don't sign a notified contract while sober before engaging in coitus.

If they're dating though, that's a different story I suppose...? And who gets "raped" depends on the person who "attacks", or makes the first move. Dunno, it is quite complicated actually.

If both parties were intoxicated it really can come down "Well who was more drunk? Would this person have been able to reason that they were given consent in this situation? Was the 'sexual assaultee' intoxicated enough that they made a dumb choice and it was drunk sex?". Drunk people can still consent but it can come down to the time, place, and level of drunkness on both parties. I've sat in on a couple of sexual assault trials and I'm also a sexual assault forensics examiner.

I think you should be responsible for yourself even while drunk, period, it's not like if I get pulled over for drunk driving I'm going to say " But officer I would never do this if I were sober, please let me go free"
