明确的同意
A free and willing agreement to engage in a sexual act, provided without force or coercion, between individuals who are of sufficient age and are not mentally incapable, 智障, mentally incapacitated or physically helpless, or incapacitated by drugs or 酒精. Consent is a clear and unambiguous agreement, expressed outwardly through mutually understandable words or actions, to engage in a particular activity. 发起特定性活动的人有责任获得该活动的同意. Consent is not to be inferred from silence, or a lack of resistance. 同意不能从现有的或以前的约会或性关系中推断出来. 同意一次从事一种性活动不等于同意在以后的场合从事另一种性活动或从事同一种性活动. Consent can be withdrawn by any party at any point. Once consent is withdrawn, the sexual activity must cease immediately. 就本政策而言, in evaluating whether consent was freely sought and given, the issue is whether the 被调查者 knew, or reasonably should have known, 有关活动并非双方自愿的，或投诉人因无行为能力而无法同意.

使无能力
由于缺乏对事实的有意识的了解，一个人不能对性行为做出明智和理性的决定, 自然, 或行为的范围(e).g., 要了解谁, 什么, 当, 在哪里, 为什么, or how of the sexual interaction) and/or is physically helpless. 一个睡着或失去知觉的人被认为是无行为能力的，不能同意性行为. 如果一个人由于精神或身体状况而无法理解活动的性质或无法沟通，也将被视为无行为能力. 使无能力 may result from the use of 酒精, drugs, or other medication. 单独饮酒或服用其他药物不足以确定丧失行为能力.

The impact of 酒精 and drugs varies from person to person, and evaluating incapacitation requires an assessment of how the consumption of 酒精 and/or drugs impacts an individual’s: (A) decision-making ability; (B) awareness of consequences; (C) ability to make informed judgments; or (D) capacity to appreciate the 自然 and the quality of the act.

It shall not be a valid excuse that the 被调查者 believed that the 发牢骚的人 consented to the sexual activity if the 被调查者 knew or reasonably should have known that the 发牢骚的人 was unable to consent to the sexual activity under any of the following circumstances: (a) the 发牢骚的人 was asleep or unconscious; (b) the 发牢骚的人 was incapacitated due to the influence of drugs, 酒精, 或药物, so that the 发牢骚的人 could not understand the fact, 自然, or extent of the sexual activity; (c) the 发牢骚的人 was unable to communicate due to a mental or physical condition.

被投诉人是否合理地应该知道报告方无行为能力将使用客观的合理人标准进行评估. 被投诉人实际上不知道投诉人的无行为能力这一事实与上述分析无关, 特别是当被投诉人没有意识到投诉人的丧失行为能力是由于被投诉人没有采取合理步骤来确定投诉人的丧失行为能力，或者被投诉人自己的丧失行为能力(由于酒精或药物)导致被投诉人错误判断投诉人的丧失行为能力.

发起性活动的个人有责任在进行性活动之前了解另一方的醉酒程度. 在一般情况下, 在酒精或其他药物影响下的性行为对各方都构成风险. 如对另一人的醉酒程度或程度有任何怀疑, it is safest to forgo or cease any sexual contact or activity.
