THE HEAD OF UCD’s computer science department has issued an apology after an email was forwarded to students asking them to help develop a sexual consent application.
The email stated that the app could stop “life destroying legal ramifications” which arise in cases of sexual assault and rape.
His email reads: “An email you received on Monday, March 11, 2019 with the subject heading “Fwd: Urgent” was not reviewed and approved by the UCD School of Computer Science before it was forwarded to our students.
It goes to show how impractical it is to seek to define parameters around consent. Quite simply, girls need to feel empowered to say no means. Otherwise, this happens.
Why the need to apologise
It's a crime to think outside the box now.

Apology after ‘consent app’ proposal sent to UCD computer science studentsEmail on project said it would fight men’s ‘ever growing fear’ of being sued after sex The same level of intoxication which would render a complainant incapable of giving consent to sex would also render the complainant incapable of contracting in to such an agreement. Such an agreement would only have minimal evidential value. Not a well thought out app. The same level of intoxication which would render a victim incapable of giving consent to sex would also render a victim incapable of contracting in to such an agreement. An agreement like that would have minimal evidential value. Not a very well thought out app.
