Very true. That 'r' word seems to be thrown around more losely now adays to garner more sympathy for victims. While I don't know anything that happened in this case I'm just pointing out that I've heard that term used in discussion of court cases in the news when referring to something someone said to the victim as opposed to anything physical. I've noticed that the word has already lost some meaning when cases of forced intercourse are now sometimes referred to as a form of sexual assult in the media as opposed to calling it rape.
