Unless you know the person and know she really wants it, its better to be safe than sorry and not do the deed with a random drunk chick.

Someone who is drunk can NOT legally give consent. So you might have thought it was consentual but she can still claim rape and you are SOL.


That is bullshit, if you are held accountable for decisions like driving drunk, murder, etc, when you are drunk, then you should be held accountable for agreeing to sex while you are drunk

I dont know how you can compare the two.

They are entirely different, and the law sees it that way.

What if both parties were drunk?

Then its "first come first served". whoever claims rape first wins. either that or its always the dudes fault, if they are both dudes, then uh, thats just gross. nobody wants to hear about that.

EDIT

Holy crap, I've been look at my state's database. Some of these prevs work or live accorss the street from a high school. And I'm not talking the run of the mill rapists.
These pervs accross from the school had carnal knowldge with a 13 - 15 year old(says the sheet)

Something;s not right with that.

My sister-in-law got raped while being passed out drunk. She never even confronted the guy that she thinks did it. Only myself, my wife, and a friend of the family know that it happened. I don't even think that her husband (whom she met after the incident) knows. I never turned it in because I think if you are that drunk you are leaving yoruself open to that type of behaviour. As bad as it is... it is a bad situation she put herself in.


She may indeed have used bad judgement which in NO way mitigates or makes her resposible for her RAPE. This is not hard to understand people. Turn the asshole in. Point at him and say there goes a rapist.

QFT. No matter what, it's never the woman's fault. She IS the victim. Period.

Well, take that back. It can be the woman's fault, but more times than not, it's not. Guys are just horndogs...

The other person couldn't counter-sue?

That is, counter-press charges?
