A Dighton, Mass., man is pressing charges against a well-known local massage parlor, saying he was sexually assaulted. The 30-year-old man told police on Saturday about an incident in April, when he went to the North Main Street Spa for a massage, according to a police report.
The massage proceeded in ways that have gotten its proprietor and masseuses arrested in the past for prostitution -- and ended the same way. The man said he told "Yo Yo" that he had a girlfriend, the report said, but she completed the sex act.
The comments on this story are despicable. How dare people mock the victim of rape.

While rape is rape, there are some odd things about the story....The incident occurred in April, but he waited 4 months to report it. Why? Motive is question as well....why would a masseuse who is really a prostitute, force sex? And lack of consent is questionable because without any threat, why was he not able to resist?
Yes, I am aware of delay, but 4 months is a bit beyond the norm. It' questionable.The comments on this story are despicable. How dare people mock the victim of rape.

Rape victims often delay reporting, it is one of the things defense attorneys used to use to question the motive of the victim.

Not only that, but was this guy forced/coercerd in any way, shape, or form? I find it hard to believe that a 30 year old male's "happy-ending" was actually rape.
From what the article says the man said, "I have a girlfriend" saying "I have a GF" is definitly not saying something like "no."
edit: I don't think anyone is arguing against the fact of rape being rape. I just don't really see how the topic at hand could be considered, especially in a court of law, an act of rape. (given the articles information)

In a court of law all it takes is a lack of consent. Force and/or coersion are not required to prove rape.

But was there a lack of consent? saying, "I have a girlfriend" still isn't a suitable substitute for saying "NO" That is, he didn't really object, he just said "I have a girlfiend"

My advice to you, never have sex. Rapes have been prosecuted successfully when the girl admits she said yes, and then changed her mind during the sex.

Well yes, anything that happens after someone says stop, is rape.
Did he at any point tell the woman no, or stop?

The police apparently think he he did, why else would they investigate?

Because he reported a crime?
He could have pushed her away. He could have stopped it and walked out of the building. He could have even yelled for assistance. Instead, he stayed and enjoyed his blow job - I am assuming this is what happened.
He then decided not to report it, but a few months later, after being haunted by dreams over his sexcapade, he decided to report the 'crime'.
Sorry. Saying you have a girlfriend does not mean you are saying no. His girlfriend probably found out about it, and instead of being man enough to admit he had an affair, he claims rape.

I will remember that the next time a woman is raped, if she doesn't fight it is not a real rape.

If you are physically unable to fight, then fine. But was this bloke pinned down to the bed? No, he had some chick sucking his cock and he wasn't going to leave the joint until he blew his load - excuse my crudeness.
Its bullshit and you know it.
