    In the US and a lot of other countries this wouldn’t even be considered rape. It’s good that it is here, but this case isn’t quite as easy as it seems on first glance.

    I think the judge made the right call here. It was a drunk hook up where both people were drunk, but conscious. The girl was quite a bit more drunk to the point where she was ruled unable to consent in a legal senses despite the fact she did and several witnesses confirmed she did.

    Again, still rape, which is sex without consent, but very far from the vicious predator most people are picturing right now.

      Yes, she made contact with him, he called her GF’s who didn’t answer bcs it was late and finally went home with him.
      Bcs she was too drunk it is considered rape.
      This article is doesn’t accurately tell the events.
      But I agree he wouldn’t be let off if he wasn’t a privileged student.
