A barrister has provoked fury by saying men who should not be convicted of rape if a woman was drunk or on drugs.
David Osborne’s made the claim on his website in a blog he has called ‘SHE WAS GAGGING FOR IT’.
His comments were prompted by Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, announcing new measures would be put in place to establish whether a woman was fit to give consent.
Married dad-of-four Mr Osborne, 71, wrote: ‘In my book, consent is consent, blind drunk or otherwise, and regret after the event cannot make it rape….I have a very simple solution which I hope you will agree is fair.
‘If the complainant (I do not refer to her as the victim) was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, when she was “raped”, this provides the accused with a complete defence.
‘End of story and a victory for fairness, moderation and common sense!’
