Ex-Israeli president gets 7 years in rape case

[Maximus]

The case has made history in Israe

Were the reporter's services: no longer needed?

Maybe he suffered a heart attack while writing it.

I bet Putin doesn't envy him so much now.

[Slargos]

It came to me that perhaps a lot of these flame-fests could be avoided if we simply invented new terms to describe and differentiate violent assault-rape and the more insidious coercion-rape.

Was it a rape-rape, or did she simply regret it afterwards?

So you and Marty would be willing to spend several hours of your day with somebody who had raped you? I just can't fathom that. Obviously most people don't quit jobs as readily as I do, but still...

I hope you are trolling. Seriously. Rape in professional relationships does not need to involve physical coercion. And the reason why it doesn't is that the victim actually needs her job and as a result can be succesfully coerced/blackmailed into sex without violence (or threats of violence) being involved - so that explains why she doesn't quit her job immediately after being raped. I thought this is a pretty obvious and universally known fact - that's why I called you a retard - because this seems so blatantly obvious to me. 

That's not rape, that's sexual harassment.

It is rape (or  rather, sexual assault).

Take, for example, R v Matheson (1999) 134 CCC (3d) 289 (Ont C.A.):

http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onca/doc/1999/1999canlii3719/1999canlii3719.html

A doctor was convicted of sexual assault on two patients of his, on the basis that consent was only obtained by his exercise of authority.

in the old days it was called a womans way of getting ahead (and a bosses way of getting head ba-dum pa)

As BB said you are wrong. Sexual harassment would be just a boss making a proposal to an underling. If you coerce someone, through your power in the organization, to have sex for you or e.g. they will get fired, that's rape (or a rape "equivalent", in the same way a statutory "rape" is not actually a rape but is considered to be just as bad).

Dude was a shrink.  Using Jedi mind tricks to lay pipe is like slipping a roofy.  Nothing like the Israeli case.

[Malthus]

Heh, seems like Israel is not the place to push the line in terms of sexual misbehaviour.

Meh - perhaps.

But I'll just cite s. 273.1(2)(d) of the Criminal Code which says "No consent is obtained, for the purposes of sections 271, 272, and 273 [sexual assault, sexual assault CBH, or aggravated sexual assault] where... the accused induces the complainant to engage in the activity by abusing a position of trust, power or authority".

Your boss telling you 'sleep with me or I'll fire you' is sexual assault.

[Admiral Yi]

Like Clinton?

[Barrister]

Like Clinton?

Well Lewinsky never said she didn't want to engage in sex, so no, not like Clinton.   

[Admiral Yi]

But if in a couple years she does complain, then it's sexual assault, right?

More seriously, I've never heard this kind of thing called sexual assault in the US and would be very surprised if I ever did.  I suppose the rest of you are free to call it whatever you want.
