A barrister has sparked outrage by saying men should be cleared of rape when a woman claims she only consented to sex because she was drunk. Rape campaign groups have condemned barrister David Osborne's claim on his website, in an article he entitled "She was gagging for it". David Osborne, 71, wrote: "In my opinion, consent is consent, blind drunk or otherwise, and regret after the event cannot make it rape. I have a very simple solution which I hope you will agree is fair. If the complainant (I do not refer to her as the victim) was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, when she was 'raped', this provides the accused with a complete defence."
