Hey, Can A Woman "Ask To Get Raped"?

And, while I hope that's useful for other readers, I mostly find it boring and not worth my time and energy.

And it is possible that the photo taken of her during the sexual act will also reveal whether or not she was incapacitated.

And why would someone take a photo like that, and then post it on the internet? What possible motive would explain that?

Man Found Guilty in Christian Mingle Rape Case
Two women testified that Sean Banks raped them after they met online

A San Diego County jury convicted a Del Mar man of raping two women he met through online dating sites ChristianMingle.com and Match.com.

Navy Lieutenant Sean Banks, 38, was found guilty of rape, rape of an intoxicated woman, two counts of forcible digital penetration and residential burglary with intent to commit rape. The jury found him not guilty of attempting to dissuade a witness.

He faces 40 years to life in prison when he is sentenced.

Banks' lawyer told NBC 7 Banks he is deeply disappointed in the results of what he called a "he said-she said" case. He plans to meet with his client to see what their options are moving forward, including possible motions for a new trial.

But prosecutors were pleased that this "very dangerous internet predator" will be placed behind bars.

"Sean Banks is an example of why it is very important for women to know who they are going out with," the deputy district attorney said.

State law does not require allegations of rape to be corroborated, according to the defense lawyer, so no DNA evidence was presented to help convict Banks.

During the more than week-long trial in El Cajon, two women – known only as K.K. and R.O. – told the jury Banks had raped them.

K.K. said she met Banks through ChristianMingle.com and invited him to come to her La Mesa apartment for their first meeting on Nov. 21, 2012.

She then detailed how Banks overpowered and sexually assaulted her. The deputy district attorney told NBC 7 the burglary charge stems from Banks dragging K.K. from her living room to her bedroom and raping her.

R.O. said Banks raped her in 2009 after they met on Match.com.

But in a taped interview with police played for the jury, Banks called K.K. “crazy” and denied forcing the women into doing anything they didn’t want to do.

His defense team argued that Banks stopped his advances and left when the women ordered him out.

Prosecutors say he went by the aliases Rarity, Rylan, Rylan Butterwood and Rylan Harbough on his dating profiles. Banks told police he did that because he is legally changing his name to Rylan.

Navy Lieutenant Sean Banks, 38

this guy left the Navy some time ago, he is a computer tech now.

The woman who testified Monday was identified only as L.J. and said she met the defendant face-to- face in New York a short time later and spent less than an hour with him in his hotel room, but he made no advances. The two went out to a restaurant, then went their separate ways, she said.

They didn't talk for six months or so, but in July 2010, L.J., then 25, said she communicated with Banks via Skype and he invited her to get together in London and said he would pay for half of her airfare, and possibly her hotel room.

The witness said she liked Banks because he was a Christian and was good- looking, but found him evasive when it came to talking about what he did and who he was.

Upon arriving in London, she said Banks showed her the shower in her hotel room, which she found "a bit weird."

The woman said they went to a dance club, where Banks danced very close and made aggressive movements that made her uncomfortable.

"It was more than I wanted," she testified.

The woman said Banks seemed disappointed as they walked back to the hotel, telling her, "You're not the one."

She said she left a sandwich outside Banks' hotel room the next morning "as a peace offering," but he didn't answer the door.

Later, the woman said she and Banks started talking again and she made her way into his room.

The two were lying on the bed talking when Banks touched her in a sexual way and she jumped, the woman testified.

"It was pretty uncomfortable," she said. "I'd never been touched like that before."

The woman said Banks touched her again in the same way, and she told him, "I'm waiting for marriage."

Banks checked out the hotel ahead of her, but didn't offer to pay for half of her room, as she expected, she said.

The woman told Banks that she didn't appreciate people going back on their word, and he got very angry and screamed obscenities at her.

"He said, 'You're just like all the girls in the world,"' L.J. testified.

The state has this guy as a dangerous internet predator, but in this case he looks like a desperate incompetent maybe wantabe predator.

Now I ask you....in all fairness, even if all this is true, does this act warrant anything close to a lifetime in prison

The state nailed this guy as a sexual predator.

Banks is facing 40 years to life in prison when he is sentenced on September 5.

Did he even stick his penis in either of them?

This sort of outcome should encourage other prosecutors to take more date rape he said/she said cases to trial.

These prosecutors did not think that they were dealing with a date raper, they thought they had a predator who mines the internet for victims.

This guy is clearly a loser who tries to do his best to bottom feed for sex,

A California judge has sentenced an Iraqi immigrant to 26 years-to-life in prison for his wife's fatal beating, which initially drew international condemnation when authorities believed it was a hate crime.

Kassim Alhimidi yelled out in English "I swear I am not guilty!" before his sentencing in San Diego County Superior Court on Monday.

The 50-year-old was given 25-years to life for the killing and an additional year for using a weapon. Prosecutors say it was possibly a tire iron.

Investigators initially believed the killing was a hate crime because of a note found nearby that read: "This is my country, go back to yours, you terrorist."

The killing was condemned by Muslim community leaders in the United States and Iraq before lab tests determined the note was a photocopy.

The sentencing Monday follows an emotional trial. Alhimidi shook his head and wagged his finger when jurors delivered the guilty verdict in April. His oldest son shouted obscenities and proclaimed his father's innocence before several deputies wrestled him out of the courtroom. Another son also shouted in his father's defense, while the victim's mother said in Arabic that Alhimidi deserved worse, according to an official court translator.

"In Iraq, normally if he kills her, he is supposed to be killed in the same way," Rehima Alhussanwi told reporters through the translator after Alhimidi's conviction in April.

The couple's eldest daughter found Alawadi, 32, in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor in March 2012, and she died two days later, suffering from multiple fractures to her head. A note found nearby read: "This is my country, go back to yours, you terrorist," setting off a hate-crime investigation.

a scummy lowlife's misadventures in getting sex is worth 40-life

Sorry, buddy, no way is the crime of rape a "misadventure in getting sex."

I find it alarming that in 2014 America the Feminists have us convinced that if a man touches a woman wrong one time there must be decades of prison handed out because the woman has probably been ruined for life.

Most people do not share your rather warped view of rape as a relatively trivial matter or some sort of "misadventure"

When rape was forcing a woman to be subjected to a penis in her I was all for throwing the book at rapists.

Women sue rapist attorney Danford Grant, his wife
BY LEVI PULKKINEN, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF
Friday, June 27, 2014

Four women raped by Danford Grant during his campaign of sexual assaults against area masseuses have sued the Seattle attorney and his wife.

Having admitted to raping five women, Grant is currently locked up at a Shelton state prison. He’s expected to spend most of his remaining years in prison.

Now, several of the women Grant raped have sued him and his wife, Jennifer, claiming both owe them for the harm Grant caused.

Writing the court, Bellevue attorney Michael Maxwell said the four women he represents suffered physical and emotional injuries at Grant’s hands. The attorney described Jennifer Grant – who helped hide her husband’s car from police after his arrest – as a “co-conspirator” in the attacks.

Police were already investigating reports of a client raping Asian masseuses in Seattle and on the Eastside when Grant was apprehended in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood attempting to flee a massage parlor there on Sept. 24, 2012. Grant was described by police as a serial rapist, “obsessed with Asian women,” who preyed on immigrant masseuses.

Grant, a founding partner in a Seattle law firm and onetime assistant city attorney in Seattle, raped five women in a series of assaults in the summer and fall of 2012. He pleaded guilty to five counts of third-degree rape, and was sentenced in May to 25 years in state prison.

Police apprehended Grant near the Greenwood massage parlor after he was tackled by a bystander.

Grant’s car – a Honda Pilot – had been parked nearby when he was arrested but was later moved by his wife, a former prosecutor with the city of Seattle. When police finally searched the SUV, detectives claim to have seized a replica pistol, a bag of Viagra and various electronics.

Jennifer Grant removed an office key card and her husband’s wedding ring from the SUV. He’d apparently left the latter there when he went to rape a masseuse at the Greenwood parlor.

During the searches, investigators found that a user of tablet computers found in Grant’s home – presumably Grant himself – had searched the internet for “rape scenes” and visited a website called rapescenes.net.

Having denied the allegations and maligned his victims as lying prostitutes, Grant ultimately admitted to raping the women. He pleaded guilty to five counts of third-degree rape, and one count of burglary.

Neither Grant nor his wife have yet responded to the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court. A specific money demand wasn’t given.
