Read the original article, if you haven't done so yet. It specifically states that the girl was really hammered, and she didn't know what she was *doing*. Let's think about it for a second. Why would a girl accuse a cab-driver( cab drivers aren't that loaded--let's face it, cab drivers are no millionaires) of rape had she not really felt that she was abused by this sorry excuse of a human being? So yes, having intercourse with a girl when she is incapacitated is basically rape. I guess people here would see no problem with date rape drugs, because date rape drugs render the victims unconscious, putting them in a vulnerable position. Now according to Wikipedia, this is how "date rape" drug is defined: "Date rape drugs are substances added to a drink to render a victim unconscious or compliant and able to be easily raped or sexually assaulted, perhaps adding to the effect of an alcoholic drink, generally unknown to the person drinking it. The " So to me, it is obvious that sexually abusing an intoxicated woman is tantamount to rape, given the fact that she does not know what she is doing. Now, of course there are cases in which girls accuse guys of rape and what have you, but these are mostly speaking cases of boyfriend-girlfriend/ husband-wife bickering. As the article states, she was drunk as a skunk. So, the point here is that her *consent* has no real meaning , all because of her drunken state. About the puerile menka analogy, I don't really understand how it can be applied to this case. Had menka been forced to drink some sort of raksi, and she starts acting weird because of that, and the jogi dude decided to have intercourse with her, then in such cases, the jogi dude can be deemed a rapist. Now if menka starts dancing and seducing the jogi by her own free will, then there is no real reason to believe that menka is in a vulnerable position. So, do not take advantage of someone's vulnerability. In this case, the girl didn't know what she was doing. I don't see why she would accuse a cab-driver of rape, who after all probbly has no money in his wallet. The cab driver is no Kobe Bryant, that's for sure. So I believe the girl 100%. This khate is a rapist. Let's send him to prison where hopefully a big black dude makes him his b1tch.
