A condom wrapper was created that records fingerprints to protect against false rape accusations. How useful would this be in court?

The fingerprints on the condom just prove that both the man and the woman touched the condom with their hands. It does not prove consent.

"He forced me to open the wrapper" - useless evidence now

Prosecutor: So, you claim you have evidence that you had consensual sex?

Defendant: Yes, I have a condom wrapper with her fingerprints on it.

Prosecutor: Why on earth would you keep an empty condom wrapper, don't most people throw those in the bin?

Defendant: Well I was concerned that she might accuse me of rape..

Prosecutor: ??? You were expecting to be accused of rape?..... What did you do that led you to expect you were going to be accused of rape?

'I opened it and then changed my mind'.

There is literally no way to prove sex was consensual without a fucking video recording of it. If feminists had their way, that would be the only way out of a rape accusation.

FYI: this post has been linked by AMR.

That sub is currently under investigation by the admins for at least one of its mods stalking and doxxing another redditor including sending false accusations that he was a rapist to his friends, business partners, and the police.

Be aware of this and be careful posting any info that could be used to track down your personal identity.

I'm not sure i even understand the concept

It won't be official evidence she is lying, "he forced me to", but I think it would be benifitial for the defending party. A lot of things that say a little eventually start saying a lot.

If you don't mention its properties, I could see it proving she lied in a report. That's a lot of forethought to have sex with someone you don't know or trust.

Pretty much useless. Easiest example is that consent can be revoked in the middle of the act. Would only help if the accuser claimed they never touched the condom wrapper, then it would hurt their credibility, but that's not going to ultimately decide anything, and that's the best-case scenario.

Nomenimion · 2014-07-29T05:53:37+00:00

I would think it would be totally useless, because she can still claim that she changed her mind.

I don't think you understand. Rape is now a thought crime.
