Abstract

Recent events, such as the #Metoo movement, have renewed sexual assault victims calls for change. Legal change has, unfortunately, been slow for sexual assault survivors who were voluntarily intoxicated during their victimization. To understand the legal remedies available for voluntarily intoxicated victims', this study explored state sexual assault laws across the United States of America. The results indicate that there exist significant shortcomings in the interpretation of and evidentiary requirements in voluntary victim intoxication cases. Policy implications from these results are discussed in the hopes of providing voluntarily intoxicated sexual assault victims greater access to justice.

性攻击州法规中的自愿受害人中毒：内容分析。

最近发生的一些事件，如 #Metoo 运动，再次激起了性侵犯受害者要求变革的呼声。遗憾的是，对于那些在受害期间自愿醉酒的性侵犯幸存者来说，法律变革却进展缓慢。为了了解自愿醉酒受害者可获得的法律救济，本研究探讨了美国各州的性侵犯法律。研究结果表明，在受害人自愿醉酒案件的解释和证据要求方面存在重大缺陷。本研究讨论了这些结果对政策的影响，希望为自愿醉酒的性侵犯受害者提供更多诉诸司法的机会。
