The Supreme Court of Canada is hearing a case involving a woman who consented to sex while unconscious, was then rendered unconscious, had a domestic dispute the next day later, reported her partner to the police for rape, and then withdrew her accusation.

The arguments in the case are neat, with one side claiming that consent ends with consciousness so rapists can’t happen upon sleeping victims and claim prior consent, and the other claiming that the government has no place infantilizing women’s choices in the bedroom and criminalizing partners who consent to sleep-sex (not to mention all the sexsomniacs wandering around).
