Certainly gives a level of fear on being drunk and alone in a busy city centre... I'd like to think my paranoia about peoples intentions would protect me from such an individual, but goodness knows in an inebriated state.
The issue here is that undoubtedly there's more such people out there, you'd hope that eventually a mistake get's them on the radar, but reading the story, there seemed to have been a chance that he might have gotten away with it all had he just been quiet/less suspicious while in hospital. This case just makes it so clear that male rape is taboo and barely anyone cares, since the victim got charged with assault instantly... Though i'm sure there are details here that make the charge seem more reasonable at the time, police have a difficult time as it as figuring out what happened at scenes, let alone with a rapist who smiles the entire way through a trial while forcing juries to sit through every video.
