As for the comments I've seen with regard to the man's rights in rape cases when they have been "led on", I say two wrongs don't make a right. Compounding the problem does not help the situation. For instance, you have no right to go out and shoot someone for merely being called a name. The latter offense is much more serious. While the former offense is improper and should be reprimanded, it does not justify the latter. So to with rape. Because one feels led on, you have no right to hand out your own punishment via rape. The latter offenses in both cases should be fully punished. Losing control of your emotions is no excuse. Otherwise temper would be reasonable cause for killing. No way. You have no rights just because you lose control. You are at all times responsible for your actions no matter what state you are in(barring insanity). Robert

I am not a lawyer but I suspect that if he had already penetrated her and then she said no (stop?) it would not be rape.
