I'm sure we do.
But, try to see how that's not the same. The accused (okay, he's a cop, he's doubly bad) didn't steal the services a bank teller was selling.
He stole what a hooker was selling.
Yes, the fact that he's a cop adds another angle to the case. It's very much like if a cop discovers an unlicensed street vendor selling hot dogs and, instead of busting him, he takes a free lunch whenever he's hungry.

Yea, I can see where you might say this. There's a lot in common between stealing a hot dog from a street vendor and forcing a person to submit to your sexual demands with a threat of jail. I guess the notion of a crime against a person is no different that the theft of a hot dog.
In your view, clearly, a prostitute, cannot, by definiton, be raped.
He stole what a hooker was selling.
The question becomes, "was she 'trying to sell it to him'" when he decided to have sex with her. If he had sex, and then refused to pay, without first mentioning he was a cop, then you might have a leg to stand on (but only with certain juries)... On the other hand, if he knew she was a prostitute, and showed his badge, telling her to have sex with him, otherwise it's off to jail, that WOULD be rape, as he's not giving her any choice.
BTW, since you didn't seem to like the "bank teller" analagy, what if this cop demanded free rides from a cabbie, under some sort of threat? In that case, it would be kidnapping.
But back to the matter at hand, the simple fact is that if a man forces a woman to have sex unwillingly, then it's rape, pure and simple.
