I have a friend who married her rapist after he raped her. She was angry at him at first, and I encouraged her to go to a counselor.
Unfortunately, the counselor apparently was an idiot, and told her that because she had gone so far with him, that when he penetrated her vaginally without asking consent (despite her saying she never wanted to have intercourse before marriage about a billion times) ... it was a misunderstanding, not rape.
And she wonders why, even though she presents a milk-and-honey existence with him on her public LJ (which is the only way I have any contact with her anymore), I don't trust that bastard as far as I could throw him.
