As an update to the details: Abigail, her boyfriend, of a very short time, and his friends were hanging out in his dorm room, playing video games. She got tired and fell asleep on his bed. She's supposedly a pretty heavy sleeper. Her boyfriend had got tired and went down the hall falling asleep in his girlfriend's bed. Then one of the other guys got in bed with Abigail. He made a pass at her from behind. Thinking it was her boyfriend, she helped by inserting him. A minute later...

  • Legally her state doesn’t classify this is as rape.

    If I’m rewriting the statutes I’d include a pretty strict (ie narrowly defined) deception clause and from how this is described it would qualify.

    Some guy says he works for nasa and turns out he works at McDonald’s, that’s not rape.

    In this case she was in her partners bed in the dark. As an impartial observer I think it’s clear that a reasonable person in her position would assume it was her boyfriend and a reasonable guy in the guys position would realize she’d assume that. She consented to sex with her boyfriend, not this guy.

    For the guys struggling to understand this, perhaps consider how you’d feel if you fell asleep in your gfs bed. You’re woken up in total darkness with a bj. As you’re close the woman climbs on and rides you. Briefly. You ejaculate then discover it was another girl, she’s not on birth control, you now owe decades of child support plus she gave you herpes. Is it reasonable for the court to say “oh well you consented you probably always wanted to fuck your gf’s friends you’d have checked it was really her if you’d wanted to”? No, that would not be reasonable.

  • At some point, she had to discern the bf’s friend and it would all come down her actions at that point. If she willingly went for it and felt bad afterwards then she is sick, if not and pushed him off or NO, then both males are sick. Goofy sht like that is what propagates this.

  • she didn't consent to sex with the dude's friend.
    But this doesn't tell me the whole story. So did the friend blatantly pretend to be the bf? That said, don't think he's particularly great since he had sex with a taken girl...

  • I don't know where the bleep the guy got rape is the number one fantasy us women have but he is an idoit because it's not what a disgusting thing to say and it really offensive to those of us who have been raped

  • well on the face of it i would say it was rape as it was sex through deception but i gues s and hope the court made a motr fully informed judgement if they found him not guilty

  • Wait wait SHE THOUGH IT WAS HER boyfriend, but happened to her boyfriend FRIEND? HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    SUUUUUUURE

  • Well rape is the number one female fantasy, so if the accusation is true I'm really happy for her.

  • Were they drunk? Did he know, that she did not realize, he was not her boyfriend?

    I have no knowledge about the case, so I will not jump the gun. Could be rape, could be consentual.

    But I think its really weird, that a woman has sex with someone while not recognizing the person who she has sex with. Can it be THAT dark?

  • Damn I need to read up on this

  • hm... that's a really tough one. I'd hate to be on the jury for that one.

    One the one hand, how can you prove that she didn't know who she was having sex with?

    On the other, how can Donald Grant Ward prove he believed it was consensual?

  • She knew what she was doing, she just felt guilty she got caught.

    • Exactly. how the fuck did you not know it wasn't your boyfriend. did you not see THE GUY HIS FUCKING FACE

    • @YvanKarma " oh, wow! Have you got BIGGER down there?" Lol

    • Hsahahaha

  • I think that she knew what was happening but the boyfriend found out and she thought that this would be a perfect defense.

  • I don't know, I mean she did technically consent, right?

  • Stupid bitch if u are not sure about something
    Dont fucking say that is it that hard?
    U can ruin some Radom dude life saying random rape accusation
