I knew you were a strange bastard.
A chicken shagger. :sarcasm:

Johnny Bravo said:Actually no, under new australian law, even consensual sex at the time, if they are intoxicated, and the "victim" later claims rape or doesn't remember the incident, you can still be charged with rape.... Sorry I don't have an official legal link but this gives you the gist of the law.

That's not to say that she was not drugged, or otherwise. But whatever the crux of her argument is, she definitely has a legal leg to stand on. Laffranchi could be in some very serious trouble.
1 Eyed TEZZA said:Serious question, has anyone here been so drunk that they could not remember a whole night, nothing from it?
Danish said:What if Lafranchi proves he was drunk??
I mean, if being drunk can make a woman not responsible for her actions, then surely a man can be extended the same courtesy
If a woman is so drunk that she CANNOT give informed consent, then there is a real chance that a finding could be made against the man involved.

And yes, Ive blacked out on the booze...not a nice feeling, trying to piece together movements the next day and only managing to recall half the night...apparently you can function quite normally during the blackout, you just forget all about it later
Bigfella said:It never ceases to amaze me how whenever any allegation is made against a footballer how many people on these forums bend over backwards to acquit them without knowing anything other than newspaper extracts.
And some of the comments on this thread about a person who has sworn on oath that she believes she has been raped are very very ordinary. Especiallythe suggestion that a woman who hangs around with footballers and/or consumes alcohol deserves any consequences, or provokes them.

[furrycat] said:bullsh*t again... thats not always the case and you're making facts up.
[furrycat] said:Oh piss off :lol:. How is it the same courtesy? The woman is too drunk, but she isn't breaking the law or raping anyone. It isn't an excuse... Its a f**kin dumb argument- opens a pandora's box for every crime to be legalised because someone can just go "Oh I was drunk and had no control...". It doesn't make it ok. If you are gonna get like that when you're drunk, dont drink.
I see your point, but its a f**king stupid one. You're practically trying to blame a rape victim here.
