The solution to this problem should not involve sheltering young women, rather changing the institutions.

I’ll take things a rapist would say to defend other rapists for $500 Alex.

the women who thought her bodily autonomy should be more important than that is a stupid bitch, not a victim.

Jeah, can't argue with that.

It’s hard to get the legal system to treat rape like rape when the victim willingly went on a date or even just went to the same party as her rapist. When it comes to withdrawing consent after initially giving it, police officers (and prosecutors, and judges and juries, though the chances of such a case getting far…

The accussed admitted she told him to stop a few times but there was no direct quote of her words given by him that she affirmed as being exactly what she said, so yeah, the unfortunate truth is that we don’t know precisely what was said.

She has a recording of Dean Fabian saying exactly that.

That’s what I’m getting from it. Obviously we don’t know what she or he said specifically in the interviews, we only have the Dean’s reactions to their statements, and without knowing what exactly she says happened, it’s hard to know if the Dean’s interpretation had any sort of valid rationale behind it.

Thank you for posting the longer quote. Related: I’m going to go throw up now

No.

Soooo what are you saying exactly?

RIGHT?!?! He is admitting rape! WHAT THE FUCK?

Oh, that’s the well known “I’m almost done, babe” affirmative defense to rape that exists in... zero jurisdictions.

So the rapist admitted to finishing after she withdrew consent? Why isn’t this being handled as a criminal case?

“thought it was reasonable for [the accused] to penetrate you for a few more minutes if he was going to finish.”

she alleges that Fabian argued that the length of the assault was justified because he, “thought it was reasonable for [the accused] to penetrate you for a few more minutes if he was going to finish.”
