"When possible, the prosecution should proceed under a theory of rape by force as this is more consistent with the stereotype of rape believed by the public, and thus, by potential jurors."

I was discussing intoxicated consent with another user and stumbled across this interesting publication from the American Prosecutors Research Institute. It's a little dry, but it does provide an interesting insight into the mind of a US prosecutor. Of note was the quote in the title. Apparently prosecutors are encouraged to proceed under the notion of forcible rape when possible, as that's what juries expect, and what is easier to convict with.

Eventually men are just going to stop sleeping with intoxicated women. This hurts both sexes. People like getting drunk and having sex. This is why they do it. But soon another thing people enjoy will be taken away.

Good.

The consent rape laws are evidenceless. He-said, she-said. No justice there.

Force her to fight back, and then you've got actual evidence!

Yikes. Like an Orwell excerpt.
