I think there ought to be a distinction made, there are surely degrees of rape in the same way there are degrees of murder. Somebody who plans to kill someone and somebody who accidentally kills someone both still have blood on their hands but it seems wrong to bunch them both together as "murderers" - I guess that's why I have an issue with this case and think he should be allowed to return to football. If he did do it, it certainly wasn't a violent violation of this woman.

I do yes because you can't 'accidently' rape someone can you?
All rape is violent as it's an assault, she may have consented to sex with the other guy which is why he was not convicted of rape.
