That I think might be the reason why so many rapes happen and are suffered in silence. If a person is dominated in the first place and raped then they are unlikely to easily overcome that dominance when they have to fight against the rapers word and prosecute them. This is even more complicated in the victims mind when they are raped by someone they love or care about.
Every rape is an abuse of trust and power.
