Original: Drinking and consent - Cornell rape allegations expose 'loopholes' in laws https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9e8l0ep8
Allegations of rape at Cornell University have drawn attention to what critics call loopholes in laws governing consent when alcohol is involved. The case raises questions about how legal systems determine whether an incapacitated person can consent, and it has prompted debate among legal experts and the public over whether existing statutes adequately protect intoxicated victims.
Why now: The Cornell case has reignited public debate over how consent laws treat alcohol-incapacitated victims.
