So I see. I think it goes to "harm" - hence, the scientology scenario I presented. There is no inherent harm to the woman whether she had sex with valo or Andrew Ference. However, if the woman is traumatized by the fact that she stepped outside of her religion, I think the deception in that situation could lead to charges IMHO.
There is no harm that can be proven if you turn out to be a janitor, as opposed to an architect, but IF religion is cental to the woman's sense of self, I can see it... Of course, if she is that religious, would she bend over just like that... etc, etc. But I am trying to think of a situation where a lie could lead to "sexual assault".
