UK: Ensure consent for sex, men told

robrob writes "This is the latest attempt in the UK to "increase" conviction rates for rape. In short, if a woman is drunk and has sex with you, the onus will be on you to prove she consented. This is another example of the "Adult-Baby" defence. A woman can be adult enough to drink alcohol, own a house, and invite men back. However, if she wants sex and even consents to it, but can't remember doing so the next day, she can claim rape and the responsibility will be on the male to prove she ever gave consent. It's amazing how Rape Laws are continuously tweaked compared to any other legislation, isn't it?"
