What I mean is that sodomy includes oral sex,not only anal sex.If he coerced her into performing oral sex,that would still be rape.Hence the rape and sodomy charge.The articles are very vague as to what type of sodomy took place.They point out that only some "exterior" wounds are present around her private area,but didn't say if the sodomy charge had any thing to do with forced anal sex.

"If he coerced her into performing oral sex,that would still be rape.Hence the rape and sodomy charge."

Why do we have the different charges? If he coerced her into oral sex, I agree that it would be sexual abuse, but I am confused as to why we would have different charges for the abuse. In my opinion, rape is rape and any unwanted sexual activity qualifies. I might be missing something though......

Believe me, I'm not purposefully being difficult, I'm just not all that familiar with these types of cases.....
