Voluntary intoxication by illegal street drugs seriously impacts an individual’s ability to appraise danger; communicate resistance; or perceive or remember events. In the context of a sexual encounter, a sexual assault occurs where a victim’s voluntary intoxication impairs cognitive and/or physical functioning to such an extent that it prevents one’s ability to consent, or the ability to communicate an unwillingness to engage in sexual activity. An example of a woman in this condition can be seen here.
Street level prostitution clients are typically working class and small business men. The lifestyle of a street level prostitute indicates they are incapable of appreciating, appraising, or understanding the nature of their actions and resulting consequences connected to this kind of addictive behavior.
“Addictive behavior” is an obsession to obtain relief via means that require little or no effort or are not difficult to perform. It is fueled by the compulsion to use drugs, despite obvious consequences. This is why those battling addiction steal valuables from loved ones before they graduate to committing other crimes. It was the fastest way to get high at the time.
Only 37 states currently prohibit sex with a person who has intoxicated themselves to the point of cognitive impairment. In those states, a sexual encounter with a voluntarily intoxicated person is rape, under law, including in New Jersey. Learn more. Unfortunately, the law is not broadcast. But, across the country, men would cease soliciting and giving money to drug addicts for sex if only they were made aware.
Street level prostitution is not consensual. It is sexual assault that is accomplished without force, threat or coercion on the part of the actor. The sexual act only occurs under duress - the obsessive need to use drugs. Consequently, a street level sex worker will suffer PTSD symptoms identical to survivors of violent sexual assault yet, there are no sexual assault survivor services specifically tailored to address this type of PTSD condition.
CFS BlackBook operated to remind men of applicable criminal law. The men immediately understood and stopped meeting up with the women. They also communicated with other men, and so on. Eventually, "prostitute friendly” areas and businesses would become void of unwanted traffic.
It is, therefore, possible to change the landscape of drug addiction across the country by sharing this website via social media. The goal is to achieve national media coverage of the critical issue expressed by the statement, “sex with an addict is rape.” Sharing this website widely enough to become a national conversation, to reach every man who engages in sexual relations with a drug addict, is the new mission for CFS BlackBook. Through persistent word of mouth and community engagement, we can take significant steps toward reducing drug addiction, preventing drug overdoses, and lowering the number of drug-induced deaths - across the country. This community effort is not going to cost anything near the over one trillion dollars this country has already spent in the war on drugs.
The “Dear John” page presents the questions that were harshly asked during the in-person meetings with “johns”. Consider sharing this page on social media.
