On the word rape, and how often it's used out of context. How minimizes the word, lessens it's meaning, it's impact. You see it in literature quite often " they raped the Vast forest for profit" and the like.

So here we have someone who simply erases it. Plays with the word "consent" to make his crime look less.

We have here , at best, someone skilled in manipulation, my guess is a sociopath. And they will let him out. We know this.
