Why do they have to sugarcoat rape? I wonder if the judge will tell her that she has been found guilty of having sex.
Because it's only rape if men do it.
It seems it was consensual though.
Still very bad and illegal of course but not rape.
You can't get consent from a minor. This was rape.
That's fair.
I usually connect rape with nonconsensual often violent sexual assault. But I guess could also be rape. Personally I would just call in sexual assault though, since I associate the word rape differently.
You should be a reporter, they have a hard time calling it rape, too.
I would call it rape when the person is charged guilty.
So it's just sexual assault until they are found guilty in court and then it's rape?
