What do you tell your sons about consent?

I agree with you, ucalumnus, that it might stop case (b), but I doubt that it would help the prosecution much, if there is no objective evidence that the encounter was non-consensual. In the absence of witnesses, or serious physical damage, I see no way to remove doubt about the situation.

However, police departments may become more interested in arresting a sexual predator suspect if there are multiple reports naming the same suspect.

Suspect was a student at UIUC, but attracted the attention of police in a city near his hometown during summer break due to four women reporting sexual assault by intoxication. Police believe that there could be more victims.
