A. Possible example of where rape and consent is blurred but this is something you might see more in TV/movies or read in books: two adults who just met each other (be it by name or the first time they saw each other in person) realize they have the hots for each other. They start kissing then go to sex! Neither party expressed verbal or body language that would say to "Stop" or "Give it it to me!". They were consumed by their want for sex and neither were intoxicated. After the epi., neither party told a friend/family member that "I regret it" or that "I enjoyed it". "Dubious consent" being a real thing would be a possible game changer, though arguably it does exist at times.

In fan fiction circles, this or a very similar concept is called "dubcon" ("dubious consent"). Some people also call it "grey rape". Now, apply the same situation but both were intoxicated.

When it is rape:If one person was more "sober" than the other and continued with the sex, I see that as "rape". Where it is questionable: Now, if both were too intoxicated to legally consent but they still went went at it, I suppose it is "dubcon".

Rape: If a person agrees to sex under duress or to one sexual act but not the other, that is rape. Blurred lines: If Person A saves Person B and Person B says something to the effect of "How can I thank you? I am open to any option." and Person B proceeds to a sexual act.

Going with the first example (the opening paragraph), I wonder how that is addressed if at all under any state or federal sex laws.

Person #1 might use the "dubcon" card against Person #2 when it was actually rape. Proving it was rape will be hard. However, proving it was a genuine case of dubcon might be even harder since I think most sex laws in this country don't really address this!

-I do know that there are variables in false claims. While the following paragraphs are more about any part of any entertainment industry in any country concerning the figurative and sometimes literal "casting couch", the same points also apply to any industry. For the purposes of this, I will use the term "hiring couch":

A. At any time or place, the talent could be drunk, high, in an emotional state like having PTSD or where they are desperate for attention, have some disability, etc. Their conditions could be diagnosed and/or undiagnosed. They might be or might not be seeing a doctor. In terms of the likelihood of abuses, this could happen before, during, or after the talent's time in the entertainment industry. Each example could include a history of such of abuse outside or inside of the entertainment industry.

B. Obviously, different gigs mean that the same young talent may fall under different examples. For example, one gig might have a young talent fall under Example C, but another gig might have the same talent fall under Example G. Likewise, one gig might have a young talent fall under Example A but years later they fall under Example G (maybe they took meds and got therapy).

C. In terms of the #MeToo being pulled, there are cross-overs of being of a legit victim and falsely pulling the victim card, depending on the gig. For example, an adult that falls under both Example D and Example H is a victim of the former situation but a liar in the latter case. This obviously assumes that no form of abuse was done during the latter case.

D. The following are the main type of couch situations that I could think of. Those with "N/A" are situations that lack any condition listed in Paragraph A or that could, should, or wall fall under Paragraph A. Those with "Yes" have at least 1 of the conditions that are listed in Paragraph A or that could, should, or wall fall under Paragraph A. That is, it describes the mindset of what that talent is in at the time of the sexual event the industry figure is proposing and the mindset of the industry at the time of the sexual event the talent is proposing. There are cases of where both are not in the right state of mind but one person proposes sexual favors.

-Industry Figure A tells Talent A, who is not 18, something like "If you don't sleep with me, I won't help you get a job". Yes -Industry Figure B tells Talent B, who is not 18, something like "If you don't sleep with me, I won't help you get a job". N/A -Industry Figure C tells Talent C, who is at least 18, something like "If you don't sleep with me, I won't help you get a job". Yes -Industry Figure D tells Talent D, who is at least 18, something like "If you don't sleep with me, I won't help you get a job". N/A. -Talent E, who is not 18, asks Industry Figure E something like "I need a job. Who do I sleep with here?" Yes -Talent F, who is not 18, asks Industry Figure F something like "I need a job. Who do I sleep with here?" N/A -Talent G, who is at least 18, asks Industry Figure G something like "I need a job. Who do I sleep with here?" Yes -Talent H, who is at least 18, asks Industry Figure H something like "I need a job. Who do I sleep with here?" N/A.

-One sex crime victim is one victim too many. One sexual predator is one predator too many. One sexual predator is that doesn't get arrested then charged and convicted is one sexual predator too many. To me, there is a situation that is more egregious than the first two sentences in this paragraph. That is when 1 is false accused of a sex crime. The fact there is a chance of the falsely of going to prison and getting prison raped adds on to such an atrocity. Even though it is estimated that only 2-10% of rape claims are false, one false claimant that is not arrested, charged, and convicted is 1 false claimant too many.

Note: for the sake of argument concerning this section, if a victim mistakes Person A for being the offender when it was Person B, I call that a wrongful accusation. Falsely accused is the accuser knew the accused did not do the crime but still pulled the victim card.

-I find that the most extreme case of false rape claims come a person that corresponds to Talent H WHEN ALL the following points are met: each sexual experience was consensual, and all credible evidence or proof confirms each experience was consensual. This includes firsthand accounts, police reports, and other evidence (video, photographic, DNA, physical, etc.). Also, the same types of evidence or proof points out that Talent H was never abused at any point in their life. Thus, whether it was the end of an investigation that did not go to trial or a trial that resulted in a "not guilty" verdict or a trial with a "guilty" verdict but the suspect was later exonerated, each #MeToo claim by Talent H was a willful and malicious lie. It was a more of a case of Talent H being "evil".

E. The following is a description of what I see rape as (mixture of practical/dictionary-type and legal definitions): a. If Person A (attacker) penetrates Person B (victim) through way of oral, vaginal, or anal intercourse with any foreign object (this counts slight penetration to even extreme penetration) but Person A did not give consent to any of those acts because Person A was unable to consent, that is rape. "Unable to consent" includes being underage, intoxicated, unconscious, etc. Rape also includes use of force. For example, Person A might phys. harm Person B if Person doesn't perform oral on Person A. Rape can include date rape, same-sex, stranger rape, incest, spousal rape, and more. However, most rapes are done by a perp who knows the victim. Note that foreign object can include a penis being forcibly penetrated into a vagina or scissoring.

-Sexual assault, on the other hand, is often defined as sexual contact that is unwanted but short of penetration. As such, this often includes groping.

F.  Outside of doxing, threats or acts of violence against them or their friends/family, them committing suicide or self-mutilation, I don't really feel sorry for people who lie about being raped/sexually assaulted. So, if they end up getting arrested, deported, evicted, laid-off, or have their parental rights severed, that is even better. Similar points are made on how I feel about rapists/sexual assailants.

In the last decade (since 1/1/2010), I am curious as to which #MeToo-type stories against a celeb or athlete or politician, even if it is local-only, have been proven to be false. By this, I mean the police investigated it for at least a few weeks and all evidence came to the following conclusion: Also, whatever necessary evidence (forensic, audio-visual, photographic, etc.) was found that PROVED the claimant was lying.

The police investigation that ruled it was a false claim as well the claimant admitting they made it happened after the accused served at 1.5-2 years in prison. Eventually the accused was released and the lying claimant ended up serving a min. of 24 months in prison.

I am fully aware that false rape claims happen much less often than real ones. To me, I find it next to impossible if not impossible that that there is not at least 1 story on American soil that matches ALL of the above points.

Just as it a foreigner who commits a violent crime might deserve to be deported, the same goes for someone who lied about being a victim of said violent crime, especially rape/sexual assault.
