It doesn't matter what mental state the victim was in--they are still the victim!  If 2 people end up drunk at night, and one person forcibly imposes themselves on the other, there still was an illegal action involved!  If one person robbed the other, killed the other, or maimed the other, they would be guilty.  What makes rape different?

How can I convey the dizzying horror of waking up with someone on top of me? I did not give consent!  Nobody deserves to be harmed in such a way, in any way, regardless of their mental capacity.
