Should rape victims receive less compensation if they've been drinking?

[Safeway]

To be honest they were probably up for it at the time, all birds are after a few vodka spritzers, so if they do somehow manage to snare some poor fella then I don't reckon they should entitled to as much cash.

Thoughts?

They should get exactly the same. Drunk or not.

Can only speak for myself, but I'm certainly not.

You can't just assume because a girl is drunk they are in some way consenting. Drink or no drink some girls may be as you put 'up for it at the time' but the majority are victims.

The sooner men accept that "NO" means "oh, go on then", the sooner we can all cancel the Rohypnol subscriptions.

I think they should serve a short custodial sentence for drinking Lambrini.

Should a murder victims family receive less compensation because the victim was drunk? No. So why should you get less if you are raped after drinking. Ridiculous.

to be honest, the woman should have to pay the man for taking all the fun out of it!

Oh how I knew you would come out with something like that.

Surely the point is whether it's rape or not, not whether theyre drunk or not. I think the issue here is that some girls may have gotten drunk and made a bad decision, and THEN cried rape afterwards. I don't think that happens often but I think maybe that's what the OP is trying to get at?

Rape is rape. But if a girl consents due to being intoxicated then surely that's not rape?

some of these girls go out wearing knee length skirts for gods sake, how is a man supposed to ignore that ?

Not sure what percentage it affects although I guess quite a few.

Once it is accepted that she has been raped..pissed or not...it is accepted she has been raped, if you say, well you were drunk so you were only a little bit raped

 

[Mellotron]

Exactly. That's the question here; when does it cross the line from drunken fun to rape?

 

[maffew]

oh dear this must be a wind up

 

[Buzzer]

They should get more I reckon cause anY rapist who's any good will obviously go to town on a drunk bint and probably take advantage of the situation to get his brown wings. On the other hand a sober girl is more likely to remember so maybe they ought to get more. Cor, it's a right old conundrum innit?

 

[Mellotron]

If it's rape it's rape, if it's not it's not. You can't judge on HOW drunk they were because that can be very subjective.

Exactly.

Safeway hasn't posted about RAPE on here for YEARS. Well, months.

Should a murder victims family receive less compensation because the victim was drunk? No. So why should you get less if you are raped after drinking. Ridiculous.

what's ridiculous is your post. the question here is one of consent, not whether or not the person is drunk. i don't think anyone, male or female, has ever been drunk enough to consent to being murdered.

of course, rape is rape so alcohol consumption should not affect the level of compensation or length of sentence for the perpetrator. however, the poll question is too black and white to be taken seriously. where rape becomes a little 'grey' is when a girl is so drunk she doesn't even know if she said 'no' but then wakes up and decides that she wouldn't have so cries rape.

not wanting to sound like a sexist pig, but there are a lot of reasons a girl may falsely accuse someone of rape...desire for compensation or revenge and, in some cases, regret. however heinous a crime rape is, those accused of it should be given the benefit of innocence until guilt is proven.

sorry...think i went off on one there and got slightly off-topic. oh well, f*** it. i've typed it all now so i might as well post it...

well its blatantly a piss take not very amusing though
