Scenario
One of your friends comes to talk to you and is very upset.
They end up telling you about an incident that happened
last night. Your friend was hanging out with a casual
acquaintance they had met a time or two before. They
were having a great time, and the acquaintance kept
bringing your friend drinks. Before your friend realized it,
your friend was really drunk. Your friend started feeling
sick, and the acquaintance offered to take your friend
home. Your friend agreed and remembers getting into the
acquaintance’s car. Your friend doesn’t remember much
after that but woke up this morning and believes the
acquaintance had sex with them.
