Where does anyone say that physical assault has to be involved for a rape to occur? She said no. Why does she have to keep saying it? She never gave consent, yet he had sex with her. AFTER she had already said no. Again, I ask you: If this isn't rape, then what is it?

You brought up physical assault and asked if it's only rape if she physically fights back. I'm simply pointing out that it's not germane to this particular set of facts
