George Galloway sacked as political columnist for rape remarks

29. An interlude of sleep does not constitute withdrawal of consent. If it did, we'd all be in jail.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn't rape. Besides, read the actual complaint. She didn't tell him to stop:

The Assault

They sat on the bed and talked and he took off her clothes again. They had sex again and she discovered he'd put the condom only over the head of his penis but she let it be. They fell asleep and she woke by feeling him penetrate her. She immediately asked 'are you wearing anything' and he answered 'you'. She told him 'you better not have HIV' and he replied 'of course not'. She felt it was too late. He was already inside her and she let him continue. She couldn't be bothered telling him again. She'd been nagging about condoms all night long. She's never had unprotected sex. He said he wanted to come inside her, he didn't say when he'd done it but he did it. There was a lot running out of her afterwards.

It may also significant that no one else has ever been charged with rape under similar circumstances. Don't you think?
