Saturday afternoon the victim called the Edmond Police Department to report that her 15-year-old grandson had raped her in her home, according to the affidavit. The victim told an Edmond officer that the suspect lives in another state, but has been staying with her since July 2, according to the affidavit.

She said she takes medication at night for medical reasons and it puts her to sleep, according to the affidavit. When she awoke on July 12 her private parts were hurting and she noticed her panties were missing, police said. She said she found them under the bed and they had been cut, police said.

2. Which is yet another proof that rape has nothing to do with attractiveness, but power.

Whether the child did it or not, the whole rape thing is power.

4. Really? "...yet another proof that rape has nothing to do with attractiveness..."

A grandmother? "Old" can't be attractive? "Old" is repugnant to you? That grandmother could have been as young 55.
This rape seemed more like it was an act of opportunity and may very well had something to do with attractiveness. Not all rapes have to do with power.

5. Well, I used to be a 15 year old boy

And I can tell you, 55 year old women are not attractive to teenagers. They're attractive to me now, but I'm almost 53 now.

6. All rapes are linked to power. All of them.

Rape has not one damn thing to do with attractiveness, no matter how attractive you are. It has to do with the ability to force someone to do what you want them to do. That is the reason that teachers, no matter how attractive or personable, have been considered to have raped students; the position of power makes it much harder to refuse. Please note that I didn't say the woman wasn't attractive; that's ridiculous. But rape is a crime of opportunity and power.

7. All rapes are about power.

All. Of. Them.

Sure, it's possible that the grandmother is attractive. Irrelevant, though.

Rape is a violent crime in which the weapon is sex, but rape is not sex.

10. Not all rapes have to do with power ... The ones that don't happen aren't about power.

There's a myth that only coventionally attractive young women are raped - that the victims were "asking for it" by being too attractive. Yet children, disabled, mentally impaired, elderly and even fat women (and men) are raped. It's not about 'opportunity sex' with an unwilling partner; Richard Pryor summed it up neatly in a throw away line following a joke in one of his performances, "How can somebody just take someone else's humanity like that?"

11. Good God, Sherlock, I believe you've nailed it.

The ones (rapes) that don't happen aren't about power.
