"It's rape if the woman is drunk, according to new law"
http://tinyurl.com/yzj6uq
"Men face being charged with rape if they have sex with women who are drunk.
The proposal, contained in a Home Office report, is being considered by
ministers in a bid to boost conviction rates for sex offences and bring more
"date rapists" to justice.
The new law would mean a woman judged to be drunk at the time of having sex
would be deemed incapable of giving her consent. That would potentially open
the way for the prosecution of thousands of men for having sex with drunk
women - regardless of whether agreement had been given at the time.
Successful prosecutions for rape often founder before they get to court
because of the difficulty in proving to juries that a victim had not given
consent.
The law change would end that uncertainty and is expected to lead to a huge
rise in the current conviction rate of five per cent."
