I’m not familiar with the case in detail, but after being found guilty in the civil case, would it not maybe have been sensible to at least show a bit of humility. Maybe say something along the lines of despite believing they are innocent, they’ve learned a huge lesson about consent and how can it really be established when all parties are in such a state of intoxication. This has been a horrible episode for all concerned and in future I/we will make sure we never find ourselves in such a position again?
