The concept of implicit consent as used by this jury says nothing about this young woman's consent since it ignores multiple indicators that this woman in fact did not consent. What this concept does at it's core is to give people respectable opportunities to openly support sexual harm while claiming not to do so. No, of course these people don't approve of non-consensual behavior, but ... she was there so she lost her right to not consent. Calling this loss of rights implicit consent sounds more humane, but there is nothing humane about it. Thank you for highlighting how this type of self-protection actually endangers protection.
