The girl in question has to actually remember having the sex, but the alcohol could easily cloud her memory of it. Anyway, that's what we were told at college. It's all a grey area because a lot of rape victims don't report it until long after the fact. Of course, I know of someone who accused another person of rape purely because they had bad sex.
why? i thought it was she had to remember saying no. Faulty memory is not the fault of the bloke and just because she cant remember consenting does not mean she didnt. Memory is a pretty fickle thing and if she regreted sex, she could easily say she didnt remember. Like in that movie 50 first dates.
prettyvacant, your post was shit, we live in australia not the uk and that article was basically laughing at how innacurate the tests to enforce such laws would be.
edit: bingo straight from the horses mouth "Case study: Ryairi Dougal was cleared of rape in a landmark case last year because his alleged victim was too drunk to recall events"
so we allready have precedents that mean she has to recall saying no, if she doesnt remember saying yes it also means she doesnt remember saying no, hence no rape. But this is getting into murky grounds. I stand by my first post, if you are sleeping with a girl who doesnt remember it the next day, you made a morally bad choice.
This whole thread is basically just teen drama and someone getting involved in other peoples business. Drinking is a choice, if you drink too much then you might make a decission you normally wouldnt make. This is nobodys fault but your own.
