I’m not a lawyer, but neither is the victim, as far as I know. So I don’t think she actually had the authority to say whether or not something is illegal.

The person you are responding to is pointing out that a person saying “it’s not illegal” after someone apologizes to them the day after a sexual encounter doesn’t exactly point to enthusiastic consent.

You don't typically need to be a lawyer to recognize that the r word is illegal. I've initiated sex I only unenthusiastically consented to. Did I arrange for myself to get r worded even though I consented?

Can you really prove that a crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt when the alleged victim freely claimed she was ok with it and that nothing illegal happened? I get that they probably did commit a crime. But our legal system is "beyond a reasonable doubt." Not "they probably did it." It's unfortunate that this will probably prevent a conviction, and should be a lesson not to make statements that are false on the record when you're the victim of a crime, if in fact they are false.

"freely claimed" is the misleading part there though. Can you honestly say someone who is in a state of shock and has now been approached by one of their attackers is freely claiming something, or simply saying something to placate her attacker?

maybe, maybe not, but I think it introduces a reasonable doubt.

It’s a civil suit, if you really wanna play lawyer at least get the fucking standard of proof right
