[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all asshole behavior is a crime.

This boyfriend sounds like a tool but come on, saying “I’ll break up with you if you don’t have sex with me” is not rape. If she had been a little older and wiser she probably would have seen this for the red flag that it is. He was selfish. He sounds like a crappy boyfriend and not a great person. That doesn’t make him a rapist though.

I hope your niece gets help and I hope she stays away from the jerk guys in the future. [/quote]

saying he'll break up with her can be considered a threat[/quote]

That doesn’t make it a crime if a reasonable person would not give in to the threat.  Threatening to break up with her is not the same as threatening to kill or maim her.  You know that, right?

This is an unfortunate situation but the girl has a role here.  She ultimately agreed to have sex whether she really wanted to or not.  That agreement = consent.  She needs help figuring out why she kept putting herself in this situation of repeatedly going to his house for lunch when she knew what was happening and to agreeing to have sex when she really didn’t want to.  Not saying the boy’s behavior is okay here either, but it’s not criminal. [/quote]
