The usual standard for use of lethal force in self defense is "immediate threat of death or grave bodily harm".

A forcible rape certainly rises to that level.

A fraudulent transaction committed by a prostitute (and I agree, the whore committed fraud) does not. Where is the threat of death or grave bodily harm? There is none.

Let’s pretend that you’re not a saint and have picked up a woman in a bar with the intent of having sex.

If you discover the deceit after “it’s too late”, what is your reaction?

Rage?

That would be normal.
