tldr summary: It appears as though she was convinced to have sex, then later regretted it.

I applaud the prosecutors for dropping the case.

One issue that bothers me is the innadequacy of the law. There can be technical rape that causes no trauma, or expectation of trauma, to the victim. Or more specifically less or equal trauma that would be experienced, whether or not there was sex, if she was told to get her skank ass the fuck out of his room.

Rape laws were designed in a time where chastity was a relevant social norm. There needs to be some requirement for a complainant to clearly assert non consent, whether in law or in prosecutorial guidelines. The fact that there is some discussion prior to sex does not make it rape. There needs to be entirely seperate laws for crimes that cause (lack of) trauma comparable to non crime offenses.

Was wondering when you would write up a piece on this.

TL/DR? The author says that the girl got what she deserved for being a cock tease.
