Hear me out. A few scenarios I can envision regarding attempted rape with someone you are in relationship
- You propose sex to missus she refuses and you nag her beg her and she doesn't cave in - could be attempted rape as you didn't stop at first refusal and repeatedly tried to have sex with her and she wasn't gonna have it
- You propose sex to missus she refuses and you nag her beg her and she eventually gives in - could this also be a tiny rape as she was certainly not 100% in agreement
And if you turn it around
- You have a kid with your wife and she wants another one, you on the other hand are 90% sure you want it but not 100% - she will wear you down days, weeks, months, flirt with you, seduce you, provoke you and literally force you to have sex with her multiple times if not successful the first time - to convince you - could also be classified as rape in my book (although you enjoyed it all the time 100%)
And regarding George Best I'm 100% certain there were situations where he was drugged/drunk, beat women and forced them to have sex. But it never met the public eye.
Not to condone doing this but reaction to Greenwood case is over the top for me. Teenager on top of the world in his eyes behaving like he can have it all. Now sees that he cannot. Punish him. Make him attend classes, work on improving, community work, charities, donations. But why prevent him doing what he does best?
