You know, in a lot of jurisdictions, especially 30 years ago, rape is penetrating a female without her consent. In Oregon, it does not include forcible sodomy or oral sex, although those are other crimes. The usage in the article may be correct, for example in Alabama, a woman can not be guilty of rape. Forcibly having sex with a male is sexual misconduct a Class A misdemeanor.
Now... why do people who are evading justice insist on becoming part of the news, like they wont be noticed?
