When is rape not rape?

Looking at the alleged facts in the Assange situation:

Miss A (1st woman):

Aug. 14: The woman, identified by Swedish officials only as Miss A, returns to Stockholm, 24 hours earlier than planned. The two go out for dinner, return to the apartment and have sex during which a condom breaks. She would later tell police that Assange used his body weight to hold her down during sex and that she was a victim of “unlawful coercion.”

If she no longer wants to, and has expressed that, and he continues to force her to have sex, it is rape.

Miss W (2nd woman):

Aug. 16: The second woman, identified only as Miss W by Swedish officials, calls Assange and they meet in Stockholm. They go by train to her hometown and to her apartment, where they have sex. According to her testimony to police, Assange wore a condom.
Aug. 17: Miss W later tells police that Assange that morning had unprotected sex with her while she was still asleep.
Both woman consented to having sex. I know I said I wouldn’t go all legal - but was the revocation of consent a reasonable basis for saying that the act was no longer consensual but was forced?

The night before, it was consensual; while she was asleep, it was not consensual. Tho I don’t understand how she could sleep through it.

Neither person has “revoked consent.” Consent is given at each individual instance. Saying yes once doesn’t mean you’re saying yes always.
