I will probably get flamed for this, but it seems to me a common thread through many of these stories is a female who wants to work in the industry, who when confronted with this, instead of just leaving, is performing some kind of calculation, some kind of line to walk to get what this man is able to offer them.

She went back to his house with him?

It is despicable, but is this rape? This sounds like something other than rape.

I understand it means they probably won’t get hired for one of his jobs if they just turn around and leave/tell the police/whatever, but is that rape? Is is sexual assault if she, a grown woman in 2011 (in this example) goes willingly back to his house and he makes advances, however unwanted?

I am pretty sure he is guilty of using his power and prestige to coerce starlets into having sex with him, but since he isn’t her boss, she is a grown woman...this just sounds strange to me.

You’re right. These women remind me of the bad joke about the woman being ravished:
“Don’t! Stop!”
“Don’t. Stop.”
“Don’t stop!”
Ten years later: “I told him ‘don’t’ and to ‘stop’.”
