My thoughts this morning were that this whole thing was poorly handled. No means no and assault is assault BUT the justice system looks favourably at people who put their hand up and show remorse and I dare say the victim may have as well.
My gut feeling is that this could have resulted very differently had said merkins had half a brain.
yes indeed..

Former NRL star
Jarryd Hayne has told a jury he knew a woman didn’t want to have sex with him in her bedroom but he wanted to “please her”.
Giving evidence in his defence during his rape trial in Newcastle district court on Friday, Hayne said he had been kissing the woman before she removed her pants and he performed oral sex on her.
“She was breathing heavily, she was fine,” Hayne said. “I knew she didn’t want to have sex. I thought I would just please her.”
He said he was suddenly in shock and jumped up when he “first felt the sense of a different liquid hit my lip”.
Hayne didn’t have a clue what it was and looked at his hands before realising it was blood.
