It is clear that the law is evolving to cover cases the alleged victim was conscious and able to speak, but not thinking clearly enough to give consent.  So even if none have been convicted yet it is obvious that the law is not "on your side".


And "consent to sex" and "consent to contract" are not different at all.  In fact they address the exact same issues.  There is not false equivalence at all.  Please explain why you think they are so "totally different" because from everything I know they both deal with the exact same issue of mental capacity.

And yet you can't show me one case that it's not on my side. The biggest thing is if the person consented then you don't need to "reasonably believe that they consent to the act" because you know they consented to it.


consent to sex and consent to a contract is a false equivalence because one is a spur of the moment thing, and the other is a legally binding agreement that is premeditated. One will imprison someone for having consensual sex and the other one will just void a contract.
