I suggest you look at the legal definition of consent before trying to impress anybody.

Infer & imply.. Why not try to contact the victim and remind her that she should know the difference? Does the difference have any bearing as to her right not to be violated without her consent?

I repeat. He is a convicted rapist. He had to face up to his crime and guilt in order to be released early, so it would be interesting to see what new evidence he is coming up with. I wish no ill nor disproportionate retribution but my understanding is that to retract your position in order to be released on licence risks being recalled to prison. I wonder how, if at all, he is being advised? If he is appealing, then I don't expect him to face up to his crime, but I also fail to see how he was released without convincing the parole system he was rehabilitating from his crime.
