Most definitely a sweeping conclusion I know. But it's right most of the time

I won't disagree with you that this is the law (I have no idea), but if so it means me and the late Missus will be due a bucket load of Compo ........from raping the other. whilst being raped by the other.

Being off ones head might not have resulted in the best sex we ever had - but can't say it was unpleasant. So not only does the law say I have been raped, but I evidently enjoyed the experiance - cos' we repeated it enough times......."back in the day"

Learn something new every day........

So how do I claim my Compo?

Get onto CICA.
We could all on a winner here.

I feel most folks have severely missed the point.

The compensation wasn't awarded as a direct result of getting raped. That happened, unfortunately, but the woman did the right thing in reporting it.

For whatever reason, she then complained that the Police weren't handling the issue correctly. To which, the Police replied basically with "OK, we get your point, but if you hadn't of been drunk, you probably wouldn't of been raped, and we wouldn't have to deal with the case. As we see it, you contributed to your own rape by being drunk. We will award compensation, but since you contributed to the whole event, we'll knock of 25%."

I'm sorry. What? Since when were the Police allowed to do that? Regardless of what caused the crime, surely the Police have a duty to investigate all cases in the same manner. Failure to do so should result in severe penalties for the cops. End of.

That's akin to me buying something on ebay, and the seller mis-represents the item (for example, gets a digit wrong in the model number). I receive it, it doesn't work as expected so complain. The seller then turns around & says "OK, but as you didn't spot my mistake, I'll give you a refund, minus 25% " I'm sorry, but that's simply not good enough.

Whatever.

You don't seem to be able to justify your position that, for some reason, being drunk makes a woman a vulnerable innocent, but makes men dangerous sexual predators fully aware of their actions however inebriated they are.

Thankfully juries tend not agree with you though, which is why there are so many acquittals.
