Consent disputed at Sailor's rape trial

Just because a drunk woman can't remember sex with former NRL player Tristan Sailor does not mean she didn't consent to it, his lawyer has told a jury.

Sailor is accused of having sex with the woman while she was either unconscious or too intoxicated to consent after a night out in Sydney with friends in October 2020.

The woman has told the court she remembers returning to her apartment, taking two sips of her drink and little else before waking the next morning, naked and bleeding in urine-soiled sheets.
