Drunk and high, so unable to consent. This mantra seems to be standard fare in false accusations now. Funny how the video footage that was taken shows her actively participating. Sadly, to protect themselves, men (mostly) have had to start filming the act to cover themselves. And even that isn't proof against charges being leveled against them (See here).
Businessman cleared of rape by phone footage.
A businessman was cleared of raping a university student today after jurors were shown video footage of their sex session.
Gary Taylor, 41, was accused of attacking the 27-year-old woman after turning up at her flat with cocaine and a bottle of red wine.
The woman, who can't be identified for legal reasons, told jurors that Mr Taylor forced her to perform a sex act on him and then raped her in her living room.
But during cross-examination she was shown footage Mr Taylor had taken on his mobile phone during the encounter on September 26, 2008.
Mr Taylor's barrister Karen Holt said the footage showed the woman 'actively' performing a sex act on him.
Judge Christopher Moss QC closed the public gallery before a graphic clip filmed by the woman was shown to the jury.
The judge warned: 'You are going to see a clip which from what I have been told you may find extremely distasteful. To avoid making it a peep show, I have ordered the public gallery to be cleared.'
After the footage was screened, Miss Holt said to the alleged victim: 'You and Mr Taylor were very familiar with each other and comfortable in each other's presence.'
The woman said: 'I don't think I was happily talking to him.'
She also denied 'actively' performing a sex act on Mr Taylor.
The prosecution offered no evidence following advice from the judge.
Mr Taylor, who runs a multimedia company, was cleared of four charges of rape and walked free from court.
The Old Bailey heard police had arrived at the victim's flat in Wood Green, North London, in the early hours of the morning after reports of a disturbance.
She made a complaint of rape and Mr Taylor was arrested at the scene.
Giving evidence she told the court: 'He wanted to be intimate. Maybe he thought he could force me into it but he went too far.
'He thought he could be persuasive and it went too far. He kept trying to kiss me that evening and I was saying no.
'I was quite drunk. He was on top of me at some point with his hand on my mouth.'
Mr Taylor, from Hornsey, North London, denied four counts of rape, including two of rape by oral penetration.
The woman had not seen the film of her having sex with Mr Taylor before it was shown to the court.

I thought some of you gentlemen might find this interesting:
Feminists go on 'Someone was raped here' graffiti campaign
Keep in mind the graffiti/vandalism is not for actual rape convictions, only accusations. No information was provided about whether these feminists were charged with vandalism. Excerpt:
'Local feminists launched a dynamic anti-rape campaign this month, marking the locations of sexual assaults with graffiti declaring “Someone was raped here.”
Sympathetic activists have responded with praise, while some rape survivors have responded with disgust. Radical feminism is back in Columbus—but is it doing any good?
...
Locations were chosen from OSU’s campus police crime logs according to Jennifer Yoder, founder of the Feminist Avengers. They were left near sites where multiple rapes were reported, so that no particular survivors would be singled out, said a spokeswoman for the vandals, Yoder said. Deputy Chief Richard Moorman of OSU’s police department said his office received one e-mailed complaint about the graffiti.
...
Though the “Raped Here” stencilings were quickly removed from their locations, the debate over the action is only heating up on the Feminist Avengers website.'

This too closely resembles the actions of the fascists in Germany against the Jews before WWII.
I don't know if there was any graffiti specifically during this era, but there were certainly similar tactics.

I am almost through getting my email/AKO account straightened out.
Yes, more feminist BS to fan the flames of the rape hysteria. I suppose feminists have no shame or honor.
I do have to wonder what the look on this female "victim's"/criminal's face was when the footage was played in court. I would bet it was priceless
Gender feminism has morphed feminism into a hate group, complete with faulty and inflammatory hate speech. Can you blame young men when they call them femi-nazi??
The graffiti effort is most counterproductive in that it is ranting against stranger rape and, if it is effective, will suggest that stranger rape is the problem. Sadly, the only ones who can stop stranger rape are the criminal rapists (a very tiny minority of men) -- and this effort won't persuade them to stop -- and, more important, women, but the feminists behind the rape hysteria resent when anyone suggests they should take care to protect themselves from this one particular kind of criminal. In any event, the persons fomenting the rape hysteria are the ones who insist that the vast majority of rapes are acquaintance rapes, and this campaign doesn't address that -- unless they plan to cover the local dorm buildings with multiple messages signfying that innumerable rapes occurred there. I suspect the college administators would not allow that as it would scare away the women. (It would also shame innocent men, but, hey, when was the last time anyone on college campuses cared about the men? And they wonder why men are staying away from those awful, awful places in droves.)
In sum, this is but another occasion for some very, very angry women to get their gender divisive gospel in the face of innocent men, who would nevre rape, and who have no control over the criminals who do. It's entire purpose is to announce to the world "Men are evil; men oppress women."
If it hadn't been for that footage he would have gone to prison for the rest of his life. As men we need to stop tolerating the feminist witchhunters and their pawns. We need to start recognizing how much worse our lives are because of their lies.
