Good post!
There was no crime committed. She agreed to and participated in a sex action. Being high or drunk doesn’t absolve you of your decisions unless you are incapacitated by those drugs, and it sounds like she wasn’t. That’s why she doesn’t really believe that a crime was committed. She consented. She may have been impaired, but not to the extent that she didn’t know what was going on.
From what I have read of her encounter with Barry, she consented to sex, but regretted it later. That doesn’t make it a sexual assault, it makes it a poor decision. Poor decisions have consequences, and all of us make them from time to time. We wish we had made a different choice, but we didn’t, so we have to live with the consequences.
There was no crime.
I hope that Lena Dunham has to pay Barry One enough money to clear his name. If she was as pro helping true rape victims as she says, then she should be happy to settle with Barry, because after his legal fees are paid, the rest of the money is getting donated to a non-profit to help those true rape victims.
Based on the descriptions Ms. Dunham gave, there was no one like that at Oberline at the time. So, I don’t think you can even say a “sex act” of any kind happened. She just made the whole thing up.
