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.
