Oddly, the human player could do this in Grand Theft Auto Vice City…and steal her money and kill her. Its both rape and theft IMO.
What if the prostitute is the man’s wife?
I’ll expect an appeal. And would not be surprised at a reversal.
It’s obviously not rape and is more serious than theft.
How about making hormones without a license?
Sorry. This killed when I was on sixth grade.
If we agree on fifty bucks and all I have is forty, is that rape too?
Yikes. I can’t count the number of times a client has stiffed me, and I’ve never gotten counseling.
This made me remember an interesting article I had read about a New Jersey bill being proposed: "Rape by fraud" bill in New Jersey: Bad for legitimate sexual assault legislation.. I’m not sure what happened with the bill - as far as I can tell it didn’t get anywhere. It was pretty broadly worded and could possibly have made it possible to declare rape based on a very wide range of deceit not just limited to impersonating a different person entirely.
It seems like getting paid ought to make her feel unraped?
You guys are looking at it all wrong. You don’t pay the prostitute for sex. You pay her to leave afterwards. I think that solves the whole rape problem. Don’t pay her, and she’s going to hang around and nag you about cleaning out the garage.
It’s important to note that a contract to perform an illegal act is void, so strictly speaking - at least in places where prostitution is a crime - there was never a valid promise to pay. In other words, it’s not even theft of services.
I expect it’s just bad reporting. He was probably convicted of some sort of fraud-related crime rather than rape.
The charge was “sexual intercourse without consent”, which in the ACT is a less serious offence than sexual assault in the first degree or sexual assault in the second degree. There is no offence called “rape” in the ACT.
There was a degree of surprise at the conviction, and a number of people expressed the view that it would be overturned on appeal. An appeal has been lodged against both conviction and sentence, and Livas has been bailed pending the hearing of the appeal.
Huh. That is an awful decision, then.
Breach of promise of marriage is not necessarily rape.

Her bill was $850. For that kind of money, I imagine she could hire someone else to nag you.
I am an innocent of the ways of prostitutes, but don’t most of them ask for money up front?
She did. He gave her a well-stuffed envelope which, he assured her, contained $850. He asked her not to open it to check the contents as this would be inconsistent with his fantasy, that they had a romantic relationship in which they trusted one another. She agreed, and didn’t open the envelope until afterwards.
My father (born 1915) had exactly one Army story - one of the guys went into town and shacked up with a local prostitute, and somehow managed to avoid payment, and threw in something like “yeah, whatta goin to do about it?”.
Her window overlooked the street. There was a cop nearby. She called out “Hey Joe - that one!” and point out the guy, who was promptly shot in the crotch.
Have no idea if this ever actually happened or was just a story making the rounds.
That, apparently, is why payment after the fact is associated with “high class” call girls – it helps distance the participants from the grubbier realities, and the clientele is generally more trustworthy (if only by dint of having more to lose if they try to weasel).
I think you’d have an easier time not prepaying for gas.
So, she didn’t know she was raped until the check bounced?
