An Oklahoma court stated "law doesn’t criminalize oral sex with a victim who is completely unconscious".
Critics say the judicial system is engaged in victim-blaming.
This cased involved a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl. he volunteered to took her home after have been drinking in a party. It was clear the girl was badly intoxicated.
After the sexual assault examination DNA of the boy have been found in her legs and mouth, and the boy had been charged with forcible oral sodomy. The trial judge dismissed the case, and later on they affirmed that prosecutors could not apply the law to a victim who was incapacitated by alcohol.
I’ve chosen this news just because the title got me crazy. Does that means that if anyone intoxicates you with something like alcohol, in Oklahoma, can force you to do anything related to sex? This is ridiculous.
It is obvious that someone under the effects of alcohol is not able to defend him/herself, not even to think if what he/she is doing is right; but no one would rape or abuse of another person without wanting it. I say that because even if you are intoxicated, you don’t think to start taking advantage of people, this just happens to sick people that would do this even in normal mood.
To come back from a party with an intoxicated girl doesn’t not means that you have to take her seriously, as you are aware she’s under the effects of alcohol. When someone is in this state, what should be done is take him/her to the hospital to have medical care.
