We can say anything that we want, hold any moral position that catches our fancy.
Human beings are capable of thinking that something is wrong and still being compelled to do it or allow for it. I'd only say that it's not shades of moral grey, in that case, but shades of desire or motivation red.
It states that there are facts of the matter of violating a person against their will - and these facts of that matter demonstrate that this thing is wrong. That's all that objective morality is.
What problems do you see, what objections can you anticipate?

Well I would say that violating a person against their will is immoral. It doesn't lead to well being or flourishing. I don't know if that is objective morality.
