What if neither are sober?

Neither have capacity to consent.

Under Louisiana law (R.S. 14:41), rape is defined as sexual intercourse committed without lawful consent. If both parties are fully incapacitated or unable to give consent (such as being completely blacked out or unconscious from alcohol or drugs), legally neither person can grant consent. Criminal liability focuses on who initiated the act, as the legal responsibility to obtain clear and voluntary consent rests entirely on the person who starts the sexual activity.

In this case, the female is claiming rape.

Maybe I was. Maybe his dick was in you also.

I was responding to where you said "sobriety".

There is big difference in not being sober and being incapacitated or even in a black out. So if neither party is sober there is a lot of rape if you have to be sober to consent. What if it is considered somewhat mutual initiation? Are they raping each other?

Technically, if you've had a drink you're not sober.

In the case at hand, he was presumably sober enough to drive everyone in her car to her apartment. She was assisted in changing clothes, etc. by her friend, so I doubt she was sober and capable of consensual anything.

Find a BRPD or EBRPSO and ask them. Maybe someone on here is a LEO.

Now he's up to 3 sexual assaults.

BATON ROUGE — A 24-year-old man has been charged in three sexual assaults of women he encountered at bars in the Perkins Road overpass area, court records show.

Elijan Clyde was charged Tuesday in a bill of information with two counts of third-degree rape, one count of attempted third-degree rape, one count of second-degree kidnapping, one count of sexual battery and one count of unauthorized use of a vehicle,

The crimes happened between April and June 2026.

Clyde was arrested in August after two of the attacks. The third victim reported the crime after she saw news of Clyde’s arrest, records show.

In the attack in April, a woman, who said she was a childhood friend of Clyde’s, ran into him at Ivar’s. They had some drinks. She later awoke about 5:30 a.m. on April 23 while Clyde was sexually assaulting her at his home, an arrest warrant said.

Clyde said that the victim "was all over" him during the evening, and disputed that the encounter was nonconsensual.

"I just don't play those games. Regretting a decision you make while drinking doesn't mean someone assaulted you," he reportedly sent in a message to the victim's roommate.

Apparently he does play those games.
