There's a very simple answer, and that is to pass an informed consent law, a rule that requires a rebuttable presumption. Simply stated, when evidence of known chemical impairment (alcohol, drugs, date rape drugs, etc.) has been established, then the burden of proving consent shifts to the accused. That way, if the impaired victim states that consent was not given, and the accused cannot prove that the victim gave informed, verbal consent, then the jury can conclude that there was no consent. It is time to end the "well, she was dressed ******" defense.
People can dress however they want. People can drink whatever they want. Those things are legal. Rape is not, and alcohol and skimpy clothing are not defenses to rape charges.
"Vindictive" is not a defense to rape.
"Membership in an organization" is not a defense to rape.
"Dating other people" is not a defense to rape.

Jesus ******* wept. I have no words. Just be smart and do things the way Dave does.
