So, because of PC, there's no way to tell if the "friend" who invited him to come home and sleep together is male or female. Weird. But, when I take somebody home to sleep there after a bar excursion.... well the invitation's been made...

Maryland law can't male can't rape another male. Not PC just the law moron.

In whose apartment? The victim's or the suspect's? Reading this makes it sound like the assault occurred in the victims apartment.
