This is how statutory rape works. Consent is invalidated by a law!

If person are intoxicated, they are prevented from resisting. So even if they give a verbal consent, this consent is invalidated by section 261 (a)(3), because they were prevented from resisting.

You ignored my post. Drinking a beer does not prevent one from resisting. Frankly you don’t seem to be understanding the statue you posted.

Your position is ludicrous. It would imply that a married couple in California can’t have sex without it being rape if one (or both?) drink a single glass of wine with dinner. Think over the argument you’re making.
