Five years for shagging some broad who was too drunk to say no? So much for UK being a state of justice.

I should sue some of the ugly one-night stands I've had if that's the view of the law

Just read the (limited) details on the BBC and couldn't agree more.

In sentencing him to five years in prison the judge said:

"The complainant was 19 years of age and was extremely intoxicated.

"CCTV footage shows, in my view, the extent of her intoxication when she stumbled into your friend.

"As the jury have found, she was in no condition to have sexual intercourse.

"When you arrived at the hotel, you must have realised that."

So if you have sex with someone who is drunk, it is rape?

At what point does it become rape?

How many units?

Should we all carry a breathalyser which determines whether we are about to rape or make love?
 
If you have sex with somebody that's too drunk to know what the ****'s going on, then it's rape.
How the jury decided that the man that met this girl in the street, where she reportedly fell over repeatedly, was innocent, yet a man that met her while she was in bed the first bloke is guilty, I have no idea.
 
How are we supposed to tell whether it's OK to have sex with someone? The judge used the words "no condition to have sexual intercourse". What condition is that? How many units? 5 Bacardi Breezers is fine, 6 is rape? Do we have to take their weight and the time over which drinks were consumed into account?

If they're so drunk that they're unconscious then yes. Otherwise, no. I've been in some ridiculously drunken states in the past, but there's no way, if I'd been awake, that someone could've bummed me.
 
Section 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 states:

If you can get a donger then you aren't too drunk.

OK, we can tell if a man is being raped or not. What about a woman? Perhaps we could develope something a bit like litmus paper, if she's all juiced up, it turns green? You'd have to risk the lesser charge of sexual assualt getting there.
 
I've slept with a few girls I wouldn't touch with a barge pole when sober. Would they get a five year sentence for raping me? Or would I be called a t**t for getting so drunk in the first place? I wonder.
