Curious: Rape by deception
(Editor’s note: the edmontonian now continues its sex-focused column. Not always the best to leave up on your work computer while you wander to the coffee machine.
Imagine this.
It’s a beautiful summer night in Edmonton, a man and woman meet at a bar downtown. The man introduces himself, but gives a false name to “protect” his identity. After some idle chatter, and a bit of random flirting, he and the woman go and have sex in a parking lot.
It’s consensual, and even if it’s not the best sex ever, both adults have
said yes.
After, he quickly dresses and departs before she has a chance to figure out the details of the rest of his life. The name is there but the rest is a mystery.

lied about who he was and she presses charges. The man, is sentenced to
18 months in jail.
