In Ohio University sex act caught on video, prosecutor reveals facts that show it was not sexual assault; the school should drop its investigation

So when is she going to be charged for making a false report?

The outcome of the grand jury investigation still leaves room for concern. They sought to determine whether or not the woman was sufficiently lucid to give consent under Ohio law. According to the article, "Blackburn added the main issue the grand jury faced was whether the man knew she had no ability to consent." The grand jury did not consider the man's state of mind in any way. If, after reviewing the video and other evidence, they decided that the woman was too drunk to give consent, they would treat the case as sexual assault. The APD follows the common pattern in alcohol-related sexual assault cases: if a man and woman are equally drunk, and the woman is deemed too drunk to give consent, the law considers the man fully sober and fully aware of his actions. Even if the drunk man asks the woman if she consents to his actions, because she is drunk, the consent is legally invalid. But his drunken acceptance of her consent is also legally invalid, even though, as the COTWA article points out, "That is exactly what we tell young men they are supposed to do: ask." By law, alcohol leaves men culpable and women victimized.

the woman didn’t remember what happened.

BULLSHIT

Yeah, I think I'm going to start going around doing shit I'll later regret and then afterwards I'll say "I don't remember". That's a fucking genius way to go through life with zero culpability for anything.

These kind of witch hunts against men remind me of the way people in the 1980's claimed that Satanic messages were being backmasked on rock albums in order to brainwash their children. Society simply can't believe that a woman would behave in a depraved manner, so let's get her tested for date rape drugs and psycho-analize every movement she made and otherwise pull every stop to try to prove that she was in no way responsible for her own actions.

I may be wrong, but I think the reason they didn't prosecute this is that the photographic evidence is extant and measure them look ridiculous in the eyes of an incredulous public. I never thought they would prosecute. For the same reasons I don't think the university will make a finding of rape or sex assault.

What should interest us is what would have happened if there has been no such evidence in public domain. And how many unsafe campus findings of guilt are illustrated by this.

"The prosecutor said the man asked the woman ... and she said no."

Rape!

The school didn't wait for the district attorney to reach its conclusions before it held an event last Thursday titled “Campus Conversation: Sexual Assault, Consent, and Bystander Intervention

Something tells me that Title IX had a part to play in this?

And yet the femininists of the liberal blogosphere are still touting this today, pretending as if none of this has come to light.

And the people in the lefty blogosphere believe them. You can see the outrage in their comment sections -- There's a video! How can this case not already be on the docket!

And when this gets proven false, the liberal blogosphere will drop it altogether and never issue a single retraction. And that is why I no longer trust liberals.

I wanted to highlight something we mention in the post -- the Gang of 34: http://thepost.ohiou.edu/content/post-editorial-students-need-take-care-themselves-others

Nevertheless, despite all of this, Ohio University is still thinking of punishing the young man.

We have an internal process that we’re following and this kind of information — well much of this — may make it into our investigation,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Ryan Lombardi. President Roderick McDavis has previously said that the school would conduct its own investigation into the public sex act.

If the punishment is for anything other than underage drinking and behaving like a fucking tool, and isn't handed out equally to both of them, that's pretty bad.

EDIT: Looks like this is a slight misquote of the newspaper report:

In addition, the students might face punishment from OU. “We have an internal process that we’re following and this kind of information — well much of this — may make it into our investigation,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Ryan Lombardi.

Kinda bugs me that it was changed to "young man" on the CWAC site...somebody is looking for a way to be victimized.

Under The Goddess sides with COTWA on this, and has mirrored the blog post.

So does anyone know why there was a photo of her apparently passed out on the sidewalk? Was it not of the same person or something?

ArtScrolld · 2013-10-29T15:31:07+00:00

I have an issue with this - are we REALLY, LEGALLY going to this:

“Being able to walk down the hallway carrying her own burrito and into the apartment, she was able and not being escorted,” Blackburn said. “It didn’t appear to us or the grand jury that she was not able to give consent.”

as our baseline for being able to consent?
