"'rape by deception'. He was found guilty and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment."

How can sex between consenting adults ever be considered "rape". This kind of reading of the law is a problem for women who treat genuine sexual assault seriously! This kind of stuff offends me deeply. If she consented she consented. If she learned afterwards that he was a cock, or a Rabbi, or a Gay man seeing if he liked it with women, is neither here nor there. The act was consensual. The lie was secondary. She was capable of consent, he didn't force her. Full stop.

Though this topic doesn't really belong here - bar it representing possible legal prejudice against Muslims in Israel - but it might be worthy of another thread which addresses other broader issues that it may relate to.
