So, let's say I'm at the bar getting a little sauced up and I meet a nice lady. We get to talking and flirting, etc. After a bit, she asks me for my wallet and all the money in it, and I oblige (or consent). I don't think I really need the money, and/or I think she's cute, and what the F, right? The next morning I wake up with a pounding headache and a lighter back pocket. And, let's say that later on I realize that my rent money was in my wallet, and I've been late in paying in the past, so, If I don't have the money I'm going to be evicted, therefore I decide to tell my landlord that I was robbed, but that I know who the culprit is. Can I press charges against this women for stealing my wallet? Yes, I handed it to her, but in my inebriated state I shouldn't necessarily be held accountable for my judgement. Or, rather, she should have exercised her better judgement to realize that I was not in the proper state of mind to make such a decision, one that most rational (sober) people would see as irrational or impulsive. Maybe I was coerced?

Can I press charges, or am I responsible for my bad choices?


All too obvious disclaimer: This does not equate to clearly stated, non-consensual, and/or forced intercourse, but rather the cases of "morning after guilt."
