I know this happened in Iceland, not the United States, but the FBI just changed the definition of rape in January. It use to be you were required to fight back or put up a struggle, not so anymore.



Quote:
The revised definition includes any gender of victim or perpetrator, and includes instances in which the victim is incapable of giving consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity, including due to the influence of drugs or alcohol or because of age. The ability of the victim to give consent must be determined in accordance with state statute. Physical resistance from the victim is not required to demonstrate lack of consent. The new definition does not change federal or state criminal codes or impact charging and prosecution on the local level.

If a girl goes alone with everything, I would assume that's giving consent, but there’s always extenuating circumstances. Regardless, the girl needs to talk to someone, because I'm sure she hurts whether it was the legal definition of a rape or not.
