Corey Antwone Hill was acquitted of kidnapping and raping a 26 year old woman in downtown Pensacola in the early hours of August 6th 2018. News coverage by WEAR and WKRG. The victim was incapacitated - There needs to be a legal charge that specifies a specific definition of legally intoxicated applied to sexual assault cases, just as there is for operating a motor vehicle and several other situations. Video surveillance footage shows the victim incapacitated on Palafox Street as well as Hill stalking her and kidnapping her - him running with and carrying the victim's limp body to his car. If the legal definition of intoxicated applied to sexual assault cases, then there would have been no question or legal doubt that the victim was too intoxicated to give legal consent.
The essential aim of Ashley's Law is to have a legal definition to decipher between rape and "regret."
There is research being conducted on this matter. Creating a legal definition of "inability to consent," will help keep the true sexual predators off the streets. Ashley's Law will also contain legal safeguards to false rape reports, such as BAC must be taken along with a full rape kit. A victim's blood alcohol content must be taken as a beginning step in a sexual assault exam/rape kit. Then how intoxicated a victim was during the attack can be approximately calculated. How quickly alcohol is filtered out of the blood is a general formula that can be used to assess a victim's level of intoxication. Ashley's Law aims to establish a legal limit to establish consent.
This is NOT to say anyone can claim rape from having drunk sex. Research is in its infancy, but there will be stipulations saying BAC has to be taken as a part of a sexual assault kit - which no one would do because they are lying. Rape kits are extremely invasive and embarrassing. Again research has just begun.
In downtown Pensacola on Wednesday May 1st from 4-6pm a march will be held to show support for victims of sexual assault. Details to come.

We are currently drafting a formal white paper to outline the proposed legal definitions of intoxication for sexual assault cases. This document will serve as the primary resource for our upcoming discussions with legislative aides.
April 11, 2019
The increase in public attention has allowed me to secure a formal meeting with the legislative counsel next week. I am currently finalizing a draft of the bill language to ensure the definition of incapacity is legally binding. This momentum provides the necessary leverage to move our proposal into the committee review process.

I was a victim too of his and did not get justice. He is a serial sexual predator, has accomplices and family members that do the same thing. He HAS to be stopped. I thought me having reported a rape four years ago with his description they would have at least contacted me if he ever struck again. I am so so sorry the justice system failed you. I had no clue who he was until I saw his face again in April when it was too late.
I too was a victim of Corey Hill four years ago and remembered nothing until he was acquitted of this crime. The police have not helped me one bit. Legislation has to be changed to prevent this monster and others like him from preying on vulnerable women.
I support you in this Ashley. I couldn't believe that with all the evidence to the contrary that a jury could make such a foolish mistake.... in judgment.
My daughter was targeted many times by lecherous criminals taking advantage of her addiction to alcohol. She committed suicide in August 2018. Stand up for Ashley's Law!
He was charged and found not guilty, Ashley's Law is to help protect future victims and inform the public that intoxicated persons are unable to consent with a sound mind. It will also help protect against false allegations, or regret. If a person knows the other person is too intoxicated due to seeing them become that way, sex should wait.
Woman’s rights matter!!!!!!!
Our judicial system needs a serious revaluation on what's wrong and what's right
