I don’t think contributory negligence is applicable in a criminal sexual assault case. Getting drunk and passing out is not an invitation to rape.

From the excerpt, though, it’s not clear that an assault even occurred. Some guys said the next day that they had their way with her — well, some guys will do that. It’s not very honorable to sully a woman’s reputation (if it wasn’t already tarnished), but that doesn’t meant they’re guilty of a crime.

I have heard from some I consider to be reliable sources that sexual assault is a problem at the Academy. The only women who feel safe are those whose fathers (or mothers) are at least Rear Admiral or above.

" Getting drunk and passing out is not an invitation to rape."

What's good for the goose (is good for the gander). Something that you say to suggest that if a particular type of behaviour is acceptable for one person, it should also be acceptable for another person.
