Wiki: In criminal law, rape is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with another person without that person's consent. Outside of law, the term is often used interchangeably with sexual assault,[1][2][3] a closely related (but in most jurisdictions technically distinct) form of assault typically including rape and other forms of non-consensual sexual activity.
OK, "sexual intercourse".
Wiki: Sexual intercourse, also known as copulation or coitus, commonly refers to the act in which the male reproductive organ enters the female reproductive tract.[1][2] ... Penetrative acts between same-sex individuals can also be regarded as sexual intercourse.[2]
So it can have been "rape" only if there was penetration. (Would a bj count? Hmmm...) Fondling, handwork etc. would not qualify, although YMMV.
Just sayin' one should be careful about throwing that word around.
Finally I wonder if anyone in the US (or Russia) has caught on that Thailand is famous for its she-boys. These are guys who dress as and behave as women, often from a very early age, and have not taken the operation. The boy in this case may well have been one of those, which would present its own (but different) PR problem for Pletnev.
