Change.org - Sexual assault law

Warning: The following contains reference to sexual violence. A Minnesota court just ruled that someone can’t be charged with rape if a victim was voluntarily drunk. This loophole may allow the offender to go free. Taylor and thousands of signers are sick of victim-blaming in sexual assault cases. They want Minnesota to fix the laws regarding consent for intoxicated people. Sign your name to tell Minnesota that being drunk does not equal consent. Change Minnesota Sexual Assault Laws 14,256 have signed Taylor Yang’s petition. Let’s get to 15,000!

Recently, it has come to the attention of many Minnesota residents of the "loop hole" in Minnesota’s sexual assault laws: that if a victim of rape/sexual assault voluntarily became intoxicated, they are not a victim of rape/sexual assault in the court of MN law. Whether someone voluntarily becomes intoxicated, it doesn’t change that they did not consent to certain actions that occurred to them. There needs to be a change in Minnesota’s sexual assault laws.   https://www.mprnews.org/story/2021/03/25/mn-supreme-court-reverses-rape-conviction-because-woman-wasnt-forced-to-get-drunk
