Attempted quasi-rape charged after family reports attempted consensual sex following hunt
The client consensually traveled to a motel to have sex with a woman he met through hunting, but when the woman's family was unable to reach the woman, they called 911 and used geolocation to raid the motel, where the client was charged with attempted rape. ■ Case Issues The client argued that although he had met the woman through hunting, they had a mutual attraction, exchanged phone numbers, talked, and consensually traveled to a motel, and that she was not intoxicated and incapacitated at the time. Ultimately, the issue in this case was whether the woman was incapacitated and whether the client intended to take advantage of this to commit adultery. ■ Resolving the issues The client's counsel quickly obtained motel surveillance footage, which confirmed that the woman had no problems walking, and showed the client and the woman actively making out before entering the motel. The client's counsel then argued that the woman was not incapacitated.
