In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes back to the program criminal defense attorney JL Carpenter of JL Carpenter Law and Associates to discuss sexual consent in a digital age and the hot button topic of false allegations in some cases filed.
We sadly hear of cases of sexual assault on an almost daily basis on local news. How have high profile cases that have come to light such as Harvey Wesinstein, Jefferey Epstein, the recent documentary My Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys by Corey Feldman and the #MeToo movement changed the way cases involving sexual misconduct and even rape are handled? How do issues such as “Doxing”, media coverage and even cases of false allegations affect the way cases are tried in a court of law?

What is “Consent” according to the law? How can we as the general public protect ourselves when it comes to our private sexual activity, while assuring the fact that other’s rights are respected? Is there an actual digital means of providing consent prior to engagement in sexual activity with someone, and is the what our society has come to?
Join the Dudes n Beer podcast as we delve into the hard topic of sexual consent in a digital world with returning guest JL Carpenter of JL Carpenter Law and Associates.
