However, it is difficult to control how you react in a crisis situation, as in a rape. Often, people shut down as a defense mechanism or because they fear that if they fight back they will be putting themselves in worse danger, or they do not want to make a scene. In general, studies have shown that those who respond quickly with active resistance are more likely to avoid being raped. Rapists are looking for someone who is vulnerable, an easy target, and who will not fight back. If the assailant, the victim, or both, are drunk, the assailant cannot be charged with rape.
Rape is a crime.
People who commit crimes while under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not considered free from guilt.
