It sounds like that's what you're getting at. btw, Have you ever had sex with a woman? Or a man for that matter? Asking for a friend. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

It sounds like that's what your getting at. Consent doesn't necessarily have to be verbal, but consent must be given. Non-consensual sexual activity is literally the definition of sexual assault.

Ummmm...... YES!!! Affirmative consent is the definition of consensual sex. In what context is it OK to attempt intercourse with someone who has not expressly indicated consent? 2 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think Legrone's chances of being found not guilty are slim to none. Definitely glad he's no longer a Husker as well ugh. Quote Link to comment

As for me, I can't say I've had consensual sex with a lot of different women. But of the ones I've been with I don't recall any of them expressly saying "yes, I'll have sex with you" (or anything similar). That just doesn't seem to happen in the moment. But I do recall quite a few saying "no". And we didn't. (Admittedly, that's what happened more often than not.) So it seems like saying "no" might be a bit different than not saying "yes". 4 Quote Link to comment

In what context is it OK to attempt intercourse with someone who has not expressly indicated consent? So you're saying that for consent to take place it has to be verbal. "Yes, let's have sex", or something to that effect. Because that's what it sounds like you're saying. Quote Link to comment

YES!!!" was answering a different question then. Fair enough. What did the article say about Nebraska law? I'm not familiar with the standard of law in Nebraska, so I'm going by what the attorney Hughes said in the Journal Star article that started this conversation. ================================================================ Since we all hate it when posters expect others to do a mini-research project to respond to a post, here is attorney Hughes' quote from the article: She said LeGrone's accuser saw him come in the room while she and Hunt were having sex and didn't say "What's going on here? Hold on a minute. Stop. "She has an obligation and a responsibility to do or say something to make the fact that she doesn't want to do this reasonably known to the person that's doing it. She has that responsibility and she didn't do that," Hughes said. ================================================================ Did anyone actually read my post above that started this? I'm guessing no, since Utly only plucked one sentence out of context to start an argument. My point above was that, although I think LeGrone is a slimebag, and probably a sexual predator, it looks like an issue that could possibly decide this case is that the victim didn't say "no". That is all. Good day sir. Quote Link to comment

In a KETV article from last year it sounds like LeGrone was researching what the penalty would be if he got caught lying to police about what happened. LINK 3 1 Quote Link to comment
