Powerful piece. Thank you for talking about difficult topics.

I investigated serious sexual offences for several years and then spent several more managing convicted sex offenders.

Can I add one more to your list? If you are engaged in consensual sex and the female withdraws consent midway and asks you to stop and you don’t. That is rape.

One thing rape is not is regretted sex. So you woke up and realised you were drunk and had sex with an idiot, you were a willing participant at the time but now regret it. Chalk that one up to experience. No rape here.
