Pete Hegseth Published Column Saying Sex with Unconscious Woman Isn't Rape

[Charlie Hustle]

In November 2024, Pete Hegseth, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for defense secretary, came under scrutiny for his past, in which a woman had accused him of sexual assault. In response, Snopes readers and various online posts raised another action from Hegseth's past — varied claims that he had either published or written a college newspaper column that said sex with an unconscious woman was not rape.

The claim appeared on X, along with a screenshot of text from the alleged article. The X post statedHegseth was responsible for publishing such a column: "Pete Hegseth published a column in college that claimed having sex with an unconscious woman is not rape. The piece published by Hegseth claimed that rape required both the failure to consent and 'duress,' and women who are passed out cannot experience 'duress.'"

One post on X claimed Hegseth wrote the column himself: "[Hegseth] wrote an article for his college newspaper stating that having sex with an unconscious woman isn't rape. Why? Because the criteria for rape isn't met. Well duh, she's unconscious and can't say no or fight back."

A] bemusing yet mandatory orientation program, revolved entirely around whether an instance of sexual intercourse constituted "rape." The actual instance portrayed in the skit was in fact not a clear case of rape – at least not in my home state. (In short, though intercourse was not consented to, there was no duress because the girl drank herself into unconsciousness. Both criteria must be satisfied for rape. Unfortunately, the panelists never cited any legal definition of rape.) Yet the panel – all females in the session I attended – claimed that rape it was.

In short, Hegseth did publish such a column while he held the role of publisher of The Princeton Tory magazine. To be clear, he did not write it himself. The column was written in the September 2002 issue by another demonic ass student, John Andrews.

We reached out to Hegseth to learn more about his role in the decision-making process for the magazine's content back then. We will update this story if we get more information.

I think Pete will get dropped out of the remaining picks

This is pretty indefensible and he has zero experience for his role unlike the others where a case can be made

One of my biggest realizations over the past 5 years is how many men actively resent and desire to rape women. It’s not just the obvious weirdo’s either, otherwise “normal” dudes are capable of it too.

I'm saying. When my wife back in the day was on some shyt when I was trying to wife'd, I hit the aite I'm out.

Years later she on her Pepe Lepue shyt and the rest was history.

Meanwhile, these chud ass cavemen trying to fukk anything with a pulse.

Demonic Babylon behavior

I don’t know about her wanting me more, but she has to at least want me as much as I want her. I will never understand brehs who get on here and insist women not have physical preferences, and only care about personality, and stability. I’d NEVER want a woman who didn’t find me attractive, but was with men solely because I’m a nice guy.
