Re: TN football player wants rape case dismissed because unconscious victim was ‘prom
I think the judge should be able to reject the filing by this lawyer, and tell him he will accept the filing when all interviews about the gal being promiscuous are removed. Such "facts" should be considered automatically irrelevant.

There are more than a few issues here; 1) The persistent rape culture amongst some men and the 2) proliferation of privileged and coddled life of star athletes in college who assume rape is a benefit. However, what I find offensive is the assumption that supposed promiscuity and drinking makes rape justifiable.
