Why do they have to sugarcoat rape? I wonder if the judge will tell her that she has been found guilty of having sex.

[–] DaSaw@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would call it rape when the person is charged guilty.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

So it's just sexual assault until they are found guilty in court and then it's rape?

Ironically, I saw a pithy comment from a Redditor several years ago that pointed out the problem with calling him a "lucky kid" who likely wanted sex: An 8th grade boy probably would also greatly enjoy guns and high-powered sports cars. It's still bad news for adults to give him any of those things. Glad she's facing consequences.
