From the mandated crime-reporting training I’m undergoing:
So if you have sex with somebody who does not appear to be conscious or cannot consent, that could end up being rape or could end up being reported as a rape. I mean, if the other person says the next day, “Oh, I didn’t want to have sex,” then that could end up being reported as, you know, a sexual assault.
I think I was better off before the training, to be honest. The “could end up” part is very depressing. And the rest is even worse.
My jaw dropped when I read the “could be.” I don’t think I want to know just how bad it got after that.

It’s probably a cultural nuance to try to soften the message, but cultural nuances can be like windshear or confusing cross currents that make things worse.
