Looking at the original article, she was drunk to the point of being unconscious at various points in the night. She also vomited, which should be a good sign to a guy that the girl has ingested enough alcohol to make her physically ill -- that she's not a great candidate for sex -- more for someone to watch her and make sure she doesn't pass out and puke up more.

Imagine it was a murder case instead. Would "classic murder" and "lost control of normal restraint"

So the judge believes men are wild animals with no reasoning capacity? Rather low standards, there.
