An intelligent, fully conscious young man committed rape without knowing he was raping. He had no clue he was raping. How can you rape while thinking you are not raping? Do you know the answer?
Man unknowingly rapes girl because she deceived him.
Man deceived by girl into unknowingly raping her.
The answer is:
Man who had sex with girl, 12, admits rape but is freed after woman judge says he was ‘duped’ into thinking she was 19
A barman who admitted having sex with a 12-year-old girl walked free from court after convincing a judge she had tricked him into believing she was an adult.
Michael Graham, 25, met the girl through a social networking website on which she had posted pictures of herself and described herself as a 19-year-old student and single mother who enjoyed drinking and having sex.
The girl was inundated with offers from men, but only replied to Graham because he was the best looking, Leeds Crown Court was told.
You guessed wrong? you still haven’t gotten it: consensual sex can be rape. If a 12 or 15 year old happily hops into your bed, or if you drag her into the bushes and hold a knife to her throat, in both cases you commit the same crime “rape”.
This is a special case of “rape by deception”. The “rapist” was deceived.
So in this case, the “offender” was duped by the “victim” into raping her, unknowingly. Got it? He thought he had consensual sex with a 19 year old. In reality, he had non-consensual sex with a 12 year old. According to our laws, a 12 year old cannot consent to sex. If you think 12 really is a little young, be aware that, in many countries, neither can a 17 year old agree to sex.
The paradox of this title is due to language confusion created by feminist laws. Definition of “Rape”. When a “Rape” is not a Rape! The Abuse of the word “Rape”. & the Perversion of Language. Maybe we should turn back the wheel of time.
- a rape is a rape
- unlawful sex with a minor is unlawful sex with a minor
There obviously is an intent behind this language confusion.
In India, breaking a marriage vow is rape
Having a sexual relationship with a woman with a false promise of marriage can also be termed as rape. The case was being heard in a Delhi Court and it involved a man having sexual intercourse with his neighbour. The man was found guilty of rape and sentenced to seven years of rigorous imprisonment.
In the present case, Chhotey Lal, the convict and father of six children, had eloped with his neighbour in New Delhi in September 2004, and took her to far away places like Jaipur and Chandigarh. According to the girl, the duo established sexual relations after Lal assured her that he would marry her ‘very soon’. Meanwhile, the girl’s father lodged a ‘missing’ report with the police. The police detained Lal and the girl in March 2005 at Sarai Kale Khan Bus Terminal when they were returning to Delhi. Chhotey Lal was prosecuted for abducting the girl and having sexual relationships with her on false pretext.
“The so-called consent under a false promise to marriage is no consent,” additional sessions judge Mahavir Singhal said.
Highlighting the difference between ‘will’ and ‘consent’, the court said that a nod for sexual relations obtained by a man on the false pretext would not amount to a ‘legal or valid’ consent to save him from punishment for rape.
The Court observed that, even if the woman is assumed to be a willing partner in having a physical relationship, that the accused had no intention to marry her would make it a case where consent was given under misconception of facts, nullifying the efficacy of the nod.
Again, the rape of the word rape: in thousands of years, this has never been called rape. Why is this called rape now? To convince the public that draconian penalties are justified.
It might be some type of fraud. Maybe the guy was creepy and deceived her from the start. Maybe he really honestly planned to marry but found out she was a bitch and changed his mind. If she is conservative, if she wants to be sure, maybe she should be abstinent until marriage.

Stupid laws indeed.I think there is too much focus on consent and too little on willingness.Everyone knows what willingness means,no one is quite sure about what consent is supposed to mean.
