“Officer, I don’t understand. She was into it, didn’t seem drunk at all.”

"Too drunk to meaningfully consent". It is ludicrous on its face to claim you didn't know someone was that drunk.

And, anyway, in the jurisdictions I'm talking about, it doesn't matter if you knew or not; if she was that drunk, it's rape. That's what "statutorily" means.

Did she get a breathalyzer? How do the police prove she was drunk?

People close to me have been victims of acquaintance rape in their homes. It’s a horrific crime that shakes the victim to her core and leaves her violated in many ways. The process of getting justice is like getting victimized again.
