Just for the record, in the US the crime is now called “sexual assault” and vaginal penetration is no longer an element of the crime. This allows all sorts of sexually oriented assaults to be treated the same, whether or not actual penetration of a vagina by a penis occurs. This is as it should be. Someone of either sex being “raped” with a broomstick up the anus is certainly the victim of a very serious crime which can be as bad as traditionally defined “rape”, or worse depending on the aggravating circumstances.
