Yeah, but there's been a case recently where a rape victim was told by the judge not to use the word 'rape' in court, because that might bias the jury against the defendant, which I think is unadulterated bullshit. If it's against your consent, it's rape.
And in this case, the girl was nine. She couldn't legally give consent even if she wanted to (which I veryvery much doubt) which automatically makes it rape.
(and I'm not growling at you or anything, just growling in general)
