Abstract:
This study investigated how jurors perceive victim intoxication in a civil case involving "stealthing," the nonconsensual removal of a condom during sexual intercourse. Participants read a trial summary and made case judgments. Results revealed: (a) more plaintiff decisions when the victim was sober compared to intoxicated; (b) the effect of victim intoxication on case decision was indirectly affected by pro-victim judgments; and (c) the victim's intoxication was a central reason for decisions in favor of the defendant, whereas a lack of consent was central to plaintiff decisions. The results are compared to past findings in the context of rape.
