A recent court ruling in China has sparked widespread online debate after a woman and her two friends allegedly drugged her boyfriend and then engaged in intimate activities with him in turns. The court ruled that, because the incidents did not violate the boyfriend's personal consent, the acts did not constitute sexual assault, leaving netizens both surprised and conflicted.
The controversy centers on whether the boyfriend was truly a willing participant or if he was taken advantage of under the influence. In their judgment, the court noted that since there was no clear evidence of non-consent, the case did not qualify as rape under existing law. The ruling has stirred significant reactions online, as people question the ethical and legal dimensions of consent, especially involving drug influence in relationships.
Many users voiced strong opinions. One user commented, “This isn’t against anyone’s will, so it’s not rape.” Another, @ZUIEZHICHEN, added, “He was likely fully aware the whole time; the drugging was unnecessary.” Such comments reflect a perspective suggesting the boyfriend might have willingly participated, even if under unusual circumstances.
Other netizens expressed concern for the boyfriend’s wellbeing. User @ymisex wrote, “Men need to protect themselves; this is a dangerous situation…” Similarly, @Gsoldier007 took a humorous tone, suggesting, “The boyfriend must be quite resilient! He should consider acting in adult films.” These remarks reveal a mix of sarcasm and amusement that highlight the unusual nature of the case.
Some even questioned the need for the drug, with one user saying, “You don’t even need to drug him; just invite your friends in halfway and go for it,” suggesting the event could have unfolded without any coercion. Others, however, saw the situation as a red flag in relationships.
