I will bet a million dollars the OP doesn't respond. nt Bonobo Aug 2012 #89
you lose. NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #121
Since my goal was to pressure you to respond, I actually feel like a winner. nt Bonobo Aug 2012 #123
Cool! then who gets the million dollars? NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #127
If I had it, I would give it to these guys: Bonobo Aug 2012 #131
I fully agree. nt NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #141
So if the victim doesn't fight back sufficiently hard in your opinion, the rape doesn't count? (nt) jeff47 Aug 2012 #92
If I'm in bed with a guy I'm consensually sleeping with and he get's a hard on KoKo Aug 2012 #95
The condition given for previous sex was "use a condom". jeff47 Aug 2012 #100
He penetrated her while she was still asleep. By the time she asked him if he was wearing pnwmom Aug 2012 #106
There were two women, not one. pnwmom Aug 2012 #104
The time-line you describe does not match her official NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #120
You are wrong, the time-line matches perfectly reorg Aug 2012 #189
Totally doesn't surprise me! :( Liberal_Stalwart71 Aug 2012 #83
Yes. Absolutely. nt frogmarch Aug 2012 #6
Rape. You have to have permission, be invited, for each penetration or sexual activity. NYC_SKP Aug 2012 #7
Who is going to be standing there counting? How do you know which one KoKo Aug 2012 #97
I was taking the hypothetical of the OP in the most general sense, not related to the Assange case. NYC_SKP Aug 2012 #99
Okay...I understand your "hypothetical" and would agree but...this seemed about Assange... KoKo Aug 2012 #102
In the Assange case... NYC_SKP Aug 2012 #109
I just edited my post subject line to you...btw... KoKo Aug 2012 #112

Rape,,,, WCGreen Aug 2012 #8
I would think he was an asshole and throw him out Marrah_G Aug 2012 #9
I'd kick his ass out the door and down the stairs Warpy Aug 2012 #14
Rape and the woman involved should press charges. theinquisitivechad Aug 2012 #10
Agree 100%. WillowTree Aug 2012 #16
I like that a lot, WillowTree! "My body, My rules." calimary Aug 2012 #191

. Inkfreak Aug 2012 #71
AMEN!!! The outrage over Assange is pretty creepy here on DU. Liberal_Stalwart71 Aug 2012 #84
Even his own colleague, the Stockholm Wikileaks coordinator pnwmom Aug 2012 #107
and he would know motre than anyone else why ? Swagman Aug 2012 #135
If Assange engaged in this kind of behavior with two women in one week, pnwmom Aug 2012 #137
why is OK for some on DU to think they know the truth of what went on? Swagman Aug 2012 #133
Probably, but then I probably would also pass on having sex Cleita Aug 2012 #13
Absolutely. gollygee Aug 2012 #17
exactly - the condom is less relevant than her being asleep spooky3 Aug 2012 #119

STD's can still be transmitted via oral sex. nt NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #24
sick... DURHAM D Aug 2012 #28
Do you have plans for the next couple of months? jberryhill Aug 2012 #31
WTF does that even mean? n/t LadyHawkAZ Aug 2012 #46
spoiled little boy had to have his way without consideration to the woman. now whines seabeyond Aug 2012 #20
He has agreed to answer to go to Sweden to answer to the sex charges. Cleita Aug 2012 #23
Yes, and if only his story made a lick of sense, it might worth something jeff47 Aug 2012 #93
Isn't that what the UK is threatening to do? Cleita Aug 2012 #98
No, the UK is threatening to send him to Sweden. jeff47 Aug 2012 #103
your faith in US law is admirable eveb though there is the sticky problem of GITMO Swagman Aug 2012 #138
Why have fath in anyone, including Assange? jeff47 Aug 2012 #155
So what do you think about George Bush and Dick Cheney running around free Cleita Aug 2012 #162
I think they should be in jail jeff47 Aug 2012 #170
Since when does the accused get to set conditions like that? n/t pnwmom Aug 2012 #110
can you give me anothe rexample of when a suspect is invited to another country for an interview? Swagman Aug 2012 #139
I don't think you understand what happened. It is normal in Europe pnwmom Aug 2012 #142
And I don't think you understand that he is willing to go to Sweden Cleita Aug 2012 #164
Sweden has extradition agreements with the US that could theoretically require them to do so -- pnwmom Aug 2012 #167
Exactly, but since our justice system, especially when in comes to covering Cleita Aug 2012 #188
The accused sets conditions like that all the time. Cleita Aug 2012 #161
so you were there were you? Swagman Aug 2012 #136
then send his ass back to sweden and let him face the charges like everyone else has to. nt seabeyond Aug 2012 #143
Hell yes it's rape! nolabear Aug 2012 #22
Rape. Betrayal. And get tested. Katie Aug 2012 #25
it's not about rape. HiPointDem Aug 2012 #26
That's not what Stockholm's Wikileaks coordinator says. pnwmom Aug 2012 #111
I can see nothing about rape in that statement reorg Aug 2012 #179
The investigation he's referring to includes charges of rape, molestation, and assault. pnwmom Aug 2012 #180
He said nothing about rape reorg Aug 2012 #183
I don't agree with your slant. I think he's just using the Wikileaks situation pnwmom Aug 2012 #186
Unconsented to sex = rape. n/t Hepburn Aug 2012 #27
I'd tell him to put a condom on or pull out. Luminous Animal Aug 2012 #29
I don't know if that is quite accurate. MADem Aug 2012 #36
There is nothing that I have stated about Miss W that your link contradicts. Luminous Animal Aug 2012 #38
Did you read the entire discussion? There's additional material offered by the participants. MADem Aug 2012 #49
Miss W declined to sign the affidavit the very day she made her complaint... Luminous Animal Aug 2012 #51
She wanted him tested for STDs, and that still has not happened. MADem Aug 2012 #58
what on earth are you talking about? what have other cases got to do with this? Swagman Aug 2012 #140
You're funny. MADem Aug 2012 #147
That is exactly how I remember it. Live and Learn Aug 2012 #144
I think she was tricked reorg Aug 2012 #185
Yes. Zoeisright Aug 2012 #32
Very interesting replies. MADem Aug 2012 #33
With all due respect, this is a stupid question with Raven Aug 2012 #34
Raven, this has nothing to do with "generic rape." MADem Aug 2012 #50
+1 My thought too dear Raven. Highly questionable post content. BeHereNow Aug 2012 #62
The motive is clear. pnwmom Aug 2012 #116
Which makes it the perfect foil... BlueNinja Aug 2012 #150
Welcome to DU, BlueNinja! nt pnwmom Aug 2012 #157
Thanks for the welcome! BlueNinja Aug 2012 #159

I would consent to continuing the sex.. girl gone mad Aug 2012 #37
Yes. At the very least, total disrespect for you as a human being. appleannie1 Aug 2012 #39
I would support what the woman said it was. If this is about Assange's case, both women said NO rape riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #40
What if it was the other way around? ErikJ Aug 2012 #41

No consent = rape no_hypocrisy Aug 2012 #77
Yes it would be rape. However, only someone in a coma would not wake up upon penetration. notadmblnd Aug 2012 #79
And in fact, the person in Assange's case did wake up. Bonobo Aug 2012 #88
not true spooky3 Aug 2012 #122
Do tell. notadmblnd Aug 2012 #172

Yes. But I have a question too... Pholus Aug 2012 #115
His colleague at the Stockholm Wikileaks thinks this should be treated pnwmom Aug 2012 #117
Well, it's not like this situation will go on forever. Pholus Aug 2012 #118
I would agree with him. NashvilleLefty Aug 2012 #124
Figures. Just a drive-by cut-n-paste. Too bad. Pholus Aug 2012 #125

Has the US government ever used sex as a weapon . . . pnwmom Aug 2012 #134
You might be correct. Pholus Aug 2012 #145
Assange's also guilty of invading people's privacy. pnwmom Aug 2012 #146
Good thing he made that bad decision too.... Pholus Aug 2012 #148
