It's an under-reported crime. I can't imagine women would be inclined to go through the ordeal of pressing charges for the fact that she agreed to have sex while mildly intoxicated and then later had morning-after regrets. I only hear about technicalities being pursued when homophobic parents find out their 17 year old had sex with their 19 year old same gender partner.
I can certainly imagine that. I was a victim of being falsely accussed of rape, just I got lucky in that no one took my Ex-Fiance seriously enough to do anything about it.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
