We all know how conversations can drift from one subject to another randomly but a while ago I found myself debating a hypothetical scenario with someone and I was curious about the board’s take on it.
I would’ve preferred to post it in the Mayberry, but given the subject matter there’s a risk of the thread getting derailed so I will preemptively put it in the War Room
So the scenario is this:
From a legal standpoint, who is the rapist in this scenario? If not rape, what would Person A be charged with?
If there are any lawyers or law enforcement officers reading this thread, I would appreciate their input.

So the scenario is this:
- Person A coerces Person B into having sex with Person C.
- Person C is unaware of the coercion and has no reason to believe the intercourse is anything other than consensual.
- Person B is clearly being raped in this situation.
