On a moral footing; I tend to agree. However the law sees it as something very different to talk somebody into something than to use force (like drugs) to do something.
Here's another way of looking at it- she's now free. Seperated, can start living her life again, probably young so has the best years of her life to live. If she was able to press charges, that would mean an extra 1 to 3 years she now has to deal with this guy. Would that be worth it?
I know sex is more emotional for women than for men (in general), but if it took sleeping with him a couple more times to find out he was indeed a jerk; wasn't that worth it to a certain extent? She can now move on, without ever having to second guess herself- ie "Was it me?"
