- if both were too drunk to be coherent, then if one of the persons initiated
- and carried out some act which, if done without consent, si considered
- rape, then it is rape. if both particpated equally in making the event
- happen, it is not rape.
-
- it is analogous to the following situation: if you drive a car, and run over
- a drunk pedestrian, it is your fault. if you get drunk and drive a car
- while drunk, and run over a drunk pedestrian, it is still your fault.
