Billy is drunk at a college fraternity party. He invites Marian up to his room. After kissing fervently and taking off her clothes just before penetration,
Marian says, "No. Stop!" Incensed Billy inserts his penis only slightly between Marian's labias. The next day Billy is charged with rape. Does Billy have any defenses?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: Billy could argue that he used no force or threat of force, but the defense that he only penetrated slightly will not work. Some students may assume an inability to penetrate fully amounts to an attempted rape.
