By request, I’ve made a flowchart to help determine whether an encounter was legally “rape” or not. It’s really tough, because every state’s law is different. So this is just a general summary of how the laws work in general, and should not be taken as a statement of the law in your state!!

If you think you may be a victim in real life, contact local law enforcement.

If you are being accused in real life, speak to a lawyer who practices in your state.

For a more thorough discussion, see the section on rape over at lawcomic.net.
