Hm, I don't know... I tend to agree with analog here. People are innocent until proven guilty. They are not "rapists" until proven innocent. And as most of you already know, I have been in a situation exactly like that girl's, though I did not press charges. I have always been wary of using the word "rape" to describe what happened to me (as well as calling myself a "victim") because I saw myself as having responsibility for getting into the situation, even though the guy himself was an asshole who took advantage of my vulnerability. That is as far as I will go towards saying anything conclusive about rape/victimhood in a drunken-sex case, I guess... unless there is more damning evidence at hand.
