I thought the judge specifically said it was rape, despite the wording of the crime. that's like saying they used the word "stole" when the public record says "embezzlement". hardly an argument.
a difference between rape and sexual assult is an argument designed into the system. not because theres an actual difference in the crime. because theres a difference between who each charge will be applied to. just like theft vs embezzlement.
