You can say that he forced me to have sex, or he had sex with me against my will. Plenty of ways to say what you mean without the inflammatory term that might prejudice a jury.

That is ridiculous. How is "he forced me to have sex" more inflammatory than "he raped me"? And even if it is, the accuser is clearly claiming that she was raped. Unless I misunderstand, rape is what the defendant was charged with. It's beyond absurd to have a trial where the crime being decided cannot be mentioned.

Hey, I’m sorry for disagreeing with you!

I won’t do it again.

What do you want me to think?
