You can think whatever you want, but if you support forbidding the word ‘rape’ in a rape case or ‘murder’ in a murder case or ‘robbery’ in a robbery case, then I hope you’re not a judge.

It is not likely that a person consented to being stabbed in the chest, or having his wallet stolen, or lots of other crimes.

So the words “murder” and “robbery” are fine.

It’s entirely possible that the accuser believes she was raped and the defendant believes she consented, for example.

If the accuser can say the defendant is a rapist, can the defendant reply in kind?

Nebraska also doesn’t appear to list a crime called “rape” in it’s statutes.
