Accused of rape= what does that mean exactly?


Dejarma

Recommended Posts

Example 1: a man meets a woman at a nightclub...

The drinks are flowing, they get on great & end up having sex...

The woman (the next day) thinks: 'oh dam what have I done' realizing in the heat of the moment she had sex with this man. 

Feels disgusted with herself & decides to claim rape= that's why she had sex because it was rape=  a subconscious way of justifying it? Was she forced? Well there's the problem= who knows? The man is put in front of a jury...

Example 2: a man hides behind a wall, jumps out on a poor unfortunate woman/ punches her in the face & has sex with her= the man is eventually court & put in front of a jury...

Technically these 2 scenarios are both classed as rape! Is it right because the man at the nightclub will have <<acused of rape>> on his record?

There's an obvious difference here but why are they both classed as RAPE???== again: 'what does that mean, exactly'?

Sometimes, deep in the woods right on the trail at times bodies might be found, and some say must have been a reason, meaning obviously that being(PC <SNIP!> correct) / person was no angel.

Does it quack like a duck ? Does it walk like a duck ? Does it act like a duck? Well, more than likely a full fledged <SNIP!!!!> ah worldly <SNIP!!!!> hmmm person.

No reply necessary,. well rather-- I can't see any text anyway, I just thought to quickly just tossed in a thought.  Laterzzzzzzzzzzzz

Clarity, I was hinting that the young lady might have been a total  < SNIP > !!!!

My point is people shouldn't be having random sex with people they met at a bar.

Always let the woman make the first sexual move.  Ask her "are you sure you want to do this?"  If she confirms (in a coherent responsible voice) then it is consensual.  If she later claims that it was not consensual then a lie detector might prove your innocence and her guilt.  Otherwise its her word against yours.  Although a selfie photo taken just after the act might prove she was happy with the transaction.  Hard to believe someone was raped if they are seen smiling in a photo with the accused just moments after the act.

yeah, i see your logic, but my logic would be that the woman would say she was forced to smile= it wouldn't work imo in a court of law

I don't think both scenarios can be classed as rape. The second one, certainly. But the first one is clearly consensual, except in that scenario the woman decides to lie after the event.

Your first example is a complete nightmare for all involved. I've sat on a jury trying a man for a sexual offence. There was no physical evidence and no third party witness testimony. All we had to go on was - Her: "He did it". Him: "No, I didn't".

Yeah a nightmare!! I'm 60 years old & have never been in this situation & neither do I know of any man that has, personally...

It's rare- & the reason it's rare is because THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEN on this planet are as caring/ empathetic/ understanding etc etc as any woman!

By saying this it seems like I might be suggesting there's a difference= well of course technically there is-- but WE ARE ALL HUMANS of which just want to (I hate using this phrase, but it fits):

 at the end of the day= everyone just wants to live in peace...

The first example needs many more questions before you get an answer.

That alcohol has complicated the situation. Lawyers will be looking and what may, or may not, constutitute reasonable consent.

In EG1 they will look at how affected she was by alcohol. Was she in a condition to give consent?  Basically, the situation is complicated by alcohol. Lawyers will be earning their money in that case.

In the OP you didn't state the man was drunk in scenario 2.  However, if he was, alcohol cannot be used as a defence. There is a good precedent for this. Rugby League footballer, Noah Nadruku, was acquitted of assault - in Canberra, ACT, Australia - by claiming he was too affected by alcohol to know what he was doing.  The legislation was subsequently changed to outlaw the Nadruku Defence.

alcohol is not an added complication= alcohol will be the reason why situation 1 happened in the first place <more than likely> ... 

what difference does it make if the man was drunk in scenario 2 ?

I don't agree that alcohol doesn't complicate things. However, if you're certain sex wouldn't have without alcohol - you've answered you're own question - and eg1 is very likely rape.

Alcohol complicates scenario 1 and any subsequent determination of rape

Quote

Who decides how drunk is too drunk to consent?

The law does not explicitly state how sober a person needs to be in order to make an informed decision. It is up to a judge to decide if a complainant was too drunk to consent. A person could be intoxicated but yet a judge could determine that he or she still had the capacity to consent.

Sexual assault cases are very complicated, especially in cases where the accused may not have realized how intoxicated their partner was or if he or she truly believed the other party gave consent.

Our legal system works on the presumption of innocence. Are we willing to lower our standard of proof?

In Australia, situations in which a person can and cannot give consent differ depending on the State and Territory you are. If you are involved in a sexual assault case involving consent one of our criminal lawyers can help.

You keep moving the goal posts.

In your EG1 you clearly state it is the female 'claiming rape'; and, the male is on trial.
