From what I remember of the case, I seem to remember thinking he was very stupid (particularly, as a footballer) but very unlucky. I don't think "I don't remember, but I wouldn't have wanted to have sex" is a reasonable line for a victim to be honest. And being too drunk to consent? I can see the viewpoint but mhm. I don't think he should have had sex with her but at the same time I do not view him as "a rapist" but perhaps it's hypocritical of me.
I've had sex and not remembered having it the day after. I have no idea what the girl made of it at the time. Now if she felt the same, do I think that makes me a rapist? No. I've also been drunk, not remembered and gone back and not had sex and I've done the same whether I was buzzing or sober and I know I'm not someone who will ever "force it".
The whole intoxication thing is very vague with the law, especially if both partners are hammered and I don't really get it.
