> Drug use damages the credibility of any party.

I agree that victims are often doubted because of drug use. (I think that's an error by police; instead of doubting the victim they should be treating the victim as a vulnerable person who was more likely to be abused)

But can you show me any examples where a rapist who claimed he had consent was doubted because he had been using drugs?

It feels as if the doubt only goes one way.
