Assuming this is so, you certainly could say it lessens the intent.

But...being drunk doesn't absolve you from a crime, whether it's murdering someone or having sex with an unconscious person, so it's still sexual assault either way, or at least should be.

At the end of the day, I doubt the trauma the girl faced would really matter much knowing he knew or didn't know what he was doing.
