Well, in Ben's shoes, I would be very careful about what I did and what places I found myself in. As myself I would fuck her, but no one is going to try to pin rape on me unless I actually try it.
When I look at this situation, I ask myself, "Why was Ben even in this situation?" He didn't get convicted criminally in the first case, and won't in the second either. But I ask why he was even there? An 18 and over bar? What the fuck? That's the problem with the whole thing. What does that look like to the general public? There is going to be a significant amount of people who are going to look at that and conclude he is guilty, whether he is technically convicted or not. It's going to be something that will stick with him. It will probably disappear in time, but for now, it's here.
