Oh, wait. You just dragged up some random cite on the Internet because you didn’t believe it was true.

Got it.

You seem to have neglected the point that if the woman was indeed intoxicated beyond the ability to give legal consent then it would have been rape. That video, which you love so much, would have been evidence against the two people.

Or is that the point of your OP and just you left out the word “DOESN’T” somewhere along the line?

I looks forward to your two-word rebuttal.
