A Minnesota sexual assault law that did not protect some intoxicated victims is not unique, and now, activists and lawmakers have overhauled the code.
RELATED:
According to a USA TODAY analysis, a majority of states allow for a felony rape conviction only if a victim became incapacitated against his or her will.
At least 27 states have laws that distinguish between sexual assault victims who were forced to become intoxicated and those who chose to drink or take drugs. And that distinction could determine whether charges are even filed, according to an USA TODAY analysis.

it’s filthy Democrats legislators and judges to blame
@Michel give yourself a break seems like you need it. triggered much? everything I said is faxxsss
@Devilman Crybaby☑️ Your delusions know no bounds, crybaby.
@Devilman Crybaby☑️ I’m guessing you didnt look up the political party of the Congress men and women who voted against overhauling the state law, did you? I rest my case.
What? Democrats want to help children have a better life.
Republicans just passed a bill saying a reaped 13 year old girl HAS to keep that child.
You’re DAF
Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom Democrats want to give people a better life🧦. That’s why they release killers and rapists so they can keep doing it…. that’s why they shut down people’s ability to work for the past 2 years and try to get people stuck on government aide. That’s why democrats are giving covid treatments based on skin color. That’s why democrats are blocking preeminently black people from eating at restaurants in NY/California.
Great news.
素晴らしいnews
It’s unconscionable that this law was ever used, especially in modern society. Looking at at voting tally board I was disgusted to see 59 lawmakers still thought this law was ethical.
If two people are drunk, then both are liable or non are liable…. make up your mind and don’t decide based on gender.
Its just like women to not take responsibility for their actions.
More toxic waist laws
That’s awful.
Is This New Law Now In Minnesota
Can You put Humankind USA Today on the internet, I just found it on your channel on ROKU, many I think would like to see all these people that are doing good for fellow Americans. This is Real News , . Well I enjoyed it today I don’t see any other place to write you about this show.
Make a law on false allegations now 🙌
They never get time
@Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom We have an epidemic of gold digging women in this country.
@Mr Popeye No we don’t. Women make more today then they ever had in their lives.
There are plenty of single female households, how do I know that? Bc half the male black population is in jail, leaving women with the kids.
You’re really DAF. Cute gaslighting too, go use a dictionary for that word ✌
@Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom the black male population in prison deserve to be there. Trust they weren’t ganna take responsibility for them kids anyway.
@Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom It’s called an opinion, no reason to cry about it.
@Last Lime Isn’t it funny that the only time a Republican is on board with an abortion is when they get someone else pregnant when they are married to someone else?
So strange Republicans want an abortion when they cheat but not for anyone else
I’m confused. So someone can claim they were raped if they drank too much and regretted sexual contact they engaged in willingly while under the influence? That sounds like a bad idea…😕
Don’t feed a passed out person tea, passed out ppl don’t want tea.
And if someone says they want tea at 9pm but then at 10pm they don’t want tea, then they don’t get tea.
If someone is drinking tea and then doesn’t want any more while drinking tea, then they STOP drinking tea.
And if you give someone bad tea and they get sick from your tea or they said they didn’t want your tea and yiu gave them tea, that’s on you.
Fyi I know I need to tell you this…..tea = sex
@Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom what if someone drinks too much alcohol, initiates or engages in a tea party, then regrets the tea party the next morning? Should the people who participated in the tea party be criminally charged? I think not.
I’m sure I need to point this out, the tea party was consensual at the time it took place in this metaphor.
Biden Vaxxx’d Ur Mom no one is feeding passed out people tea…except you are doing that. You are paid, how much for each copy paste comment do you get?
Rape culture and the “victims” make me lol
Only in Democrat run states. However what’s the use in locking them up when they are being set free in liberal states anyway ! Sincere apology for your pain !!
Maybe you should revisit allowing repeat offenders back on the street to conduct more crimes.
What an insane law.
We men need to start suing these women.
U know what this means
No more free drinks, ladies!
I’m sorry for the tragedy she experienced and I’m sorry for future generations that will have only online dating…
