Very very surprised.
I"ve been following this case and the woman's account seemed very convincing to me.

Absolutely disgraceful.
What an awful country to have to raise daughters in.
I knew from the start they would get off.

I'm fed up of this idea that women walk around naturally consenting and we have to prove that we didn't (which, despite that not officially being the case, is the practical effect of rape laws).

So women are raped, and the rapists go free because it's better that women fear being raped than men fear being accused of rape. How is that civilised?

I would like a card, that I can carry, that I can wear as a badge, clearly stating that I don not consent to any sexual contact with anyone, so that it's clearly, obviously rape if someone has sex with me and I report them.

That way, there's no confusion. If it wasn't rape, I won't be reporting you, so you have no problem. It's about time Men took on some responsibility for this.
