It should be a first-degree felony if you give a guy consent then later, retract it because you are embarrassed or feel ashamed

Anonymous 1d

This misunderstands consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any point, and it's an ongoing agreement, not a one-time yes. But regret after the fact doesn't legally turn sex into assault; the question is whether there was consent at the time. Knowingly filing a false report is already a crime. Often when someone "retracts" later, it's because they're realizing they didn't really feel free to say no in the moment, and that deserves to be taken seriously, not criminalized.

Are you saying 'retract consent' as in in their mind after the entire situation is already over Or are you saying 'retract consent' as in during the live, active sexual situation, she withdraws her consent? Bc the latter is actually a felony! It's called sexual assault 👍

Everyone has free will. If someone you are engaging with has your consent it’s not fair to “realize” you didn’t want to all along. You are fully responsible for you actions at the end of the day whether you are inebriated or not. Kinda like saying you don’t deserve a DUI because you had impaired judgment and wouldn’t have done it otherwise. That being said, I am fully against a sober person taking advantage of someone who is impaired. Coercing an impaired person while sober is wrong.

Have you ever (in any situation) felt like you got steamrolled? Couldn’t speak up? Felt intimated? You weren’t being heard? I experience this in my daily life. My words get twisted, I don’t get a word in, people assume one thing… and after it festers. I’ve been touched in ways I haven’t felt comfortable with at work and never felt I could say “no” and it festers. Right after the fact and in the days the follows, weeks…

That’s a completely different subject that I didn’t address. I fully agree with your statement and I believe it happens quite often. But it’s very disappointing to see that in the case of Jane Doe, she tried going back to the frat after the incident. And only when she was denied entry back into the frat, is when she decided to change the narrative.

The timeline doesn’t matter? The series of events absolutely matters. And how would you plan to prosecute someone if no other evidence matters? That’s completely irrational.

Timelines matter as evidence, sure. But going back somewhere or staying in touch afterward is really common after an assault, so on its own it doesn't say much about whether it happened.
