[QUOTE="James from London, post: 125313, member: 22"] Instead she chose to say, "Don’t touch me. I can’t stand you.” Clayton's perception of events he wasn't witness to is neither here nor there. Plenty of people who are raped don't tell the police, for a myriad of reasons. It's even possible for someone to be raped without realising they've been raped ([I]Knots Landing [/I]illustrated this very effectively through Laura Avery in "The Lie") -- the victim thinks it must be their fault, that they caused it to happen, etc. No-one onscreen ever said "euthanasia" in relation to what Ray did to Mickey. It doesn't mean the word doesn't apply. What Holly actually said was, "Take your hands off me, JR. I don't want this," which sounds no more or less equivocal to me than "Don’t touch me. I can’t stand you.” Rape and sexual abuse take many forms. [/QUOTE]
