Sounds like you actually did it then. Even hiding behind a throwaway, you probably shouldn't admit to felonies on the internet. On top of that, if you ever tried to submit that "evidence" in defense of a rape accusation, you'd still go to jail for that crime, so your so-called motivation doesn't hold water. And nice try framing this as a cool new intersection of technology and the law, but "ubiquitous storage" has nothing to do with creating pornographic films without consent. That's been possible since the 1800s, so it has nothing to do with our modern digital age. A person who went to my university was just sentenced to a couple of years in jail for doing what you did, and beyond the law it's plain disgusting and creepy. You want to film the women (really appreciate the correction, bud) you have sex with? Ask them first. You sicken me.

> On top of that, if you ever tried to submit that "evidence" in defense of a rape accusation, you'd still go to jail for that crime, so your so-called motivation doesn't hold water. Yes, you would go to jail for recording the sex act (assuming a jury didn't show mercy on you), but you would not go to jail for the rape you didn't commit. In terms of your future reputation and life opportunities, it's much better to go to jail for recording a sex act than for a rape you didn't commit.

  As the throwaway account mentioned, this issue is handled by state law. In the case that I was referring to, the law under which the person was convicted also registered him as a sex offender, so neither path would've avoided that. Which is as it should be. Furthermore, apart from what the male-dominated herd wisdom of the internet would like to believe, people don't just get convicted of rape because someone makes a baseless accusation. If you got convicted of rape, it's just like any other criminal case, and that means there was a solid, evidence-backed case against you, and a jury of your peers decided that you were conclusively guilty. I'm not saying that a false conviction never happened. But if you're someone like the sicko with the throwaway account, filming your every sexual encounter because you're afraid someone's going to accuse you of rape, you're probably not approaching your sexual encounters with a healthy attitude.

You're the one who is preoccupied with the puerile. Perhaps you sicken yourself. Accusations of sexual assault don't require there to have been any sex act, near-sex act, or even co-presence in the same room to have profound impact on the accused. Colleges have very strong responses to accusations of sexual assault, largely because actual assaults are very common, and colleges also have extra-judicial rules and regulations and systems of punishment with significant consequences. This is what makes the accusation of sexual assault a powerful tactic of revenge.
