“(b) “incapable” is usually interpreted as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or having a mental or physical disability.”

Score one more for the “slut shamers” in this country. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. Especially when you consider that a judge is the highest paid position someone can get in Canada (besides being a corporate whore).

SHAME!

Jane Doe: Yes, that whole thing was disgusting. I actually couldn’t even read the whole article in the paper it infuriated me so much. I can’t count the number of times Calgary judges point their dirty rotten fingers at young girls and call them stupid, promiscuous, and negligent. I can just hear the guy and his cronies chuckling over a slap on the wrists with a tea bagging charge.

Hi RP. The definition of consent is buried down in section 153:

3) No consent is obtained, for the purposes of this section, if

(a) the agreement is expressed by the words or conduct of a person other than the complainant;

(b) the complainant is incapable of consenting to the activity;

(c) the accused counsels or incites the complainant to engage in the activity by abusing a position of trust, power or authority;

(d) the complainant expresses, by words or conduct, a lack of agreement to engage in the activity; or

(e) the complainant, having consented to engage in sexual activity, expresses, by words or conduct, a lack of agreement to continue to engage in the activity.

“No one can give consent when they’re drunk. No one. It’s in this document called the Criminal Code of Canada you might want to check out.”

Where does it say that?
