72. Well, first off, no one would stop him.

Crowd hive mind debases into voyeurism and even sometimes joining in, almost every single time something messed up happens. I have never seen a crowd that tries to stop anything, even if he was violently raping her and she was screaming her head off. If she was passed out, most men in the crowd, that would inevitably gather to watch, would nod their heads at each other without saying a word and join in and most straight women would say that's fucked up and either leave or watch while cuddling with their boyfriends.

That is more like how people REALLY are, unlike your made up scenario. The human species, on average, is nowhere near as altruistic as you seem to think. And yes, it is still rape. What kind of man wants to have sex with a passed out woman to begin with? Never mind, I know the answer to that.
