Empathy for what? Stupidity? You can have it. She had sex, she had fun, because she went back for more, and now she has regrets.

“The court apparently agrees with me” is not an argument. But of course you’re free to hold whatever position you want, as am I.

Did someone disagwee with you, little person?

It’s always up for debate. That’s what the law is, silly.

That’s ok. It isn’t an argument, but it’s ok.

You’re getting confused. I don’t think she knew it was her friend. I think it’s irrelevant. The person she had sex with is the person she consented to, by definition. They were one and the same. She only didn’t know it was her friend because she chose not to open her eyes before she consented in person. And she DID…

Blindfolded voluntarily is the same thing. Of course pleasure is a factor - it goes to state of mind. This woman was neither underage, drugged, nor held captive. She CHOSE to have sex with her eyes shut, with little information, and enjoyed it. She went back for more, and more.

Her “trauma” is regret.

This is the same PERSON. She got in the sack with the PERSON with consent. She consented to everything that happened at those encounters, and enjoyed it. All she needed to do was what any normal person does - verify by opening her eyes. She CHOSE not to.

I agree with your first paragraph.

“I don’t see how you can look at those simple facts and conclude that she was fucking the person she thought she was fucking, only a dildo instead of a dick.”

You said “But that doesn’t mean it’s OK to take advantage of her foolishness and force sex upon her.”

And yes there are other ways, but they should be interpreted very very narrowly. This is a case of regret, long after the sex. Not rape.

Because it’s funny. She had a good time at the time, and no doubt orgasmed, and now she’s trying to claim rape?

Nope, because that is definitely illegal and not verifiable necessarily by my daughter. In this case the woman kept her eyes closed all on her own.

I know, because poor widdle you has trouble defending its irrational thought processes.

Yes, you are. You can’t even logically argue your position.

Those can change. It wouldn’t be the first time there was a travesty of justice in English law.

I don’t feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for anyone you interact with, given how low you set the bar for victimhood.

Are you having trouble defending your position, silly person?

Next time she verifies like a normal person?

Nobody forced her to do anything.
