Do we live in a Rape Culture?

The guy said she was drunk but said yes.  She doesn't remember.  She's passed out when they are discovered. He's convicted.

And there were witnesses saying she was unconscious when he was having sex with her. So, obviously he was lying, and there was proof he was lying. Good try though.

"immediately after two Stanford graduate students who were bicycling by a Kappa Alpha fraternity party about 1 a.m. caught sight of him on the ground outside, thrusting his hips atop an unconscious, partially clothed woman."

"But the woman did not wake for at least three hours and had a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit."

"Yet shortly before the 1 a.m. incident, the woman had left an incoherent message on her boyfriend's voice mail, Kianerci noted."

There's ample proof that she was more than just drunk. Just because someone says the other person consented doesn't mean they consented.
