Agree with Butch. Hey guzzler, many of us have been there and done that! Thank goodness I never had to chew my arm off!

Let me say this to the real men out there. If she says no it's no. Anything else is rape.

I've woke up with a few that the darn Tequila bottle picked out for me and couldn't get out of there fast enough, but I wouldn't call it rape

Sounds like seller's remorse (after she sobered up) more than rape.

I agree that the defense attorney will latch on to the fact that she went outside with him. Of course, that still doesn't make it right. Not knowing more about the situation other than what I've read here, I can't say why she went out with him. I can say there could definitely be reasons other than sex. A ride home, to grab another pack of cigarrettes, gum, drugs, a cell phone.... I don't recall her age (maybe it is listed, I'm not sure) but she could just be young & naive - who knows?!

I agree; no excuse for rape, none whatsoever. But the things you mention - short skirts, being out late at a bar, going outside with a stranger; I have to agree with someone else also; the defense attorney will have a field day with this one. I guess she changed her mind. I wonder if he had been different in his approach, maybe she would have given it to him? Why else did she go outside with him? Saw on the news last night; in the last 6 months, over 600 police reports in the River Market. Some jewel!

Going with someone you don't know to their car may not be the smartest thing. However, that does NOT necessarily make the women "willing". How asinine to blame the victim because she made a bad choice. Short skirts, being out late, meeting someone you don't know, etc...none of that makes it okay to force a women into sex when she doesn't want it. NONE of that makes it okay!

I am with protector, you can't rape the willing

Here's a GREAT idea...leave a bar with a stranger after midnight on Friday in the River Market district. A defense attorney is going to have a field day with this one.

A red hat? What was he, a pimp? ( Lot's of red caps in this state; but a red hat? ) LR keeps pumping money into the River Market in an attempt to make it the jewel of the city. And you still have carjackings, assualts, robberies, and rape. Give it up LR; you can't have a "jewel" in a pile of garbage.
