Lea,
I think we agree in your last points to me. I did try, if imperfectly, to say basically the same thing. I did make that assumption based on the fact that it was not said she had been drinking and that it is a very bad idea for a pregnant woman to be drinking. If the situation was not as I had assumed, then yes it may have been different. Though also as I suggested, if it were premeditated predator behavior, then it doesn’t change it. But that would be difficult to prove.

Overall, I don’t think we are talking about legal remedies, just what constitutes ‘rape’.
