Is that supposed to be informative? I am a civil attorney. I know how civil court works. That's a non sequitur. We were discussing how ROBBERY and RAPE are not parallels for purposes of resisting. Because people consent to sex with strangers all the time, but people don't consent to robbery. This is your dance, you're the one claiming they are similar for purposes of evaluating resisting or requirements to resist. So why are we now talking about what happens in civil court?

Agreed. Better 100 guilty men go free than one innocent man go to prison. In a he said/she said (or he said/he said, or she said/she said), burden of proof is on the accuser, plain and simple. And there is no proof. No proof = no case. I doubt she was lying, as she later killed herself over it, but we don't (or shouldn't) put people in jail based on a story like that. View Quote This is why I often say that women lie about these type events and you should NEVER assume that the woman is telling the truth without proof. |

I don't think I can agree to that. Rape is just too serious. I heard a story of a college student claiming that sex was rape because she stopped participating and claim the guy should have noticed and stopped. Didn't say 'stop', 'get off me' nothin'. Just quit being active. I'm not ready to send somebody to prison for a situation like that. View Quote |

So there's no way to distinguish between conscious and unconscious, and have separate laws spelling out that an unconscious person cannot consent? Because we already have that in many jurisdictions. We are talking about someone who was, by her own account, awake and aware, and able to move about under her own power. So why are we talking about roofies? A conscious person who does not consent to sex needs to tell the other person they do not consent. They don't need to fight to the death or show signs of injury, but it needs to be made clear there is no consent. View Quote |

Non-consent should consist of the minumum of blading at 45° and yelling "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY BOOBIES! YOU WILL NOT FUCK ME!" and then pee on their foot to establish dominance.

If a person says I don't want to have sex after walking into a bedroom after being told, "I want to have sex, go into my bedroom", then is led to the bed in that room, it gets muddy. Particularly when there's no force or weapon. He pulls a knife, I'm done analyzing it. She doesn't even need to say no. But this was just some dude at his house, telling her what he wanted. "No" is fine, but it needs to be said, and it needs to be clearly said. Not "no" at 930 followed by two hours of making out and tickle slap. As I said, thirty years ago I got a polite but clear "I don't want to do that" from a young woman. I respected that. I think I surprised her when I rolled over and went to sleep. I was awakened by her aggressively....doing the opposite of no. Did I rape her? She said no. She never said yes. To remove all doubt, NOTHING happened. I never needed head games like someone who can't decide what they want. This was even before Clarence Thomas, but I wasn't going to take any chances. I left and went to bed in another room. |

Quoted:
Robbery doesn't work as an analogy, because people don't consent to be robbed. People DO hook up and have sex, willingly, all the time, with what amount to strangers. People have sex, and people rape/get raped. The ONLY difference is consent, and the ONLY way to decide if there was consent is "what would a reasonable person in that situation think?" Therefore, there has to be unequivocal words or action that communicate that there is no consent. View Quote |

I'm well aware of the fact that the person in this case was conscious. I am also aware that there are tangential conversations occurring in this thread, spawned by the story but theorizing about slightly different circumstances and why a blanket ruling that a victim must resist is a silly position that does not take into account certain variables. You may or may not be aware of these tangential conversations, or be able to distinguish that we are discussing the merits or lack thereof wrt a blanket ruling.

The difference between fucking and rape is consent. The difference between a transfer of goods or money and theft or robbery is consent. View Quote Someone can not want to have sex with someone but if they never inform the other person in some way, then it's still not rape even if the person didn't want to have sex. Sex with an unconscious person is rape under the vast majority of conditions but I have seen enough rapes as well as "rapes" that I would need some additional evidence other than a person telling me they were unconscious. |

If she told him that she didn't want to have sex with him (she says she told him), and he continued, then it's rape. It also sounds like the police were really bending over backwards to not file charges. She did go to the police right away. This isn't something where she waited years. On one hand, maybe she wanted a payout. On the other hand, he's so rich and powerful and used to getting his way, maybe he is the type to ignore a "no."

Quoted:
I must be missing something here. The girl in this story was most certainly not too drunk to resist. She apparently was able to comprehend him telling her to go to his bedroom, which she then did under her own power (willingly, it would seem, based on her story). Afterwards, she jumped out of a second story window, climbed back in again, then jumped out a second time. I haven't seen anyone claim that raping a passed out/nearly passed out chick is cool, so I'm not sure where you're getting that. In this case she sober is enough to know what was going and admits she consented to sex so she could go back to the party/home. Remember no threats, no weapons, did not physically attack her. She came to his bed for the purpose of having sex. She had her cell phone with her the entire time and did not try to call anyone to "help" her nor call 911. |

Does society automatically assume that the man is telling the truth? But no, you just can never manage to do that. Naamah posted these questions before, which you have steadfastly refused to answer. So I'm going to repeat them again, since you obviously have issues with women and what constitutes rape: 1. Do you think all rapists should go free since "women lie"? 2. What constitutes rape in your mind's eye? Does such a thing even exist, or is it all lies? 3. What is your threshold for determining that a woman is lying about being raped? 4, If a woman is in a drugged stupor, can she be raped? For example, say your wife or daughter was in the hospital and was given Ambien and Valium to help her sleep, if a nurse or tech or respiratory therapist came in and had sex with her while she was passed out, was she raped? |

Quoted:
I would agree with that, if it's "you are found to be LYING." Just because someone did a crime, doesn't mean they'll be convicted. It's a pretty high standard to live up to—to file a complaint with 100% certainty that there will be a conviction, and if you're wrong, you end up footing the bill or going to jail. How would you like that to be the standard for filing a complaint about a theft or some sort of assault? If it turns out the accused is not convicted, the victim goes to jail instead? Uh, no.
