The judge also reportedly debated whether the teen’s actions constituted rape, attempting to distinguish rape from sexual assault. His reasoning was that rape “generally” involves perpetrators who attack at “gunpoint” or use weapons to threaten their victims. According to a local radio station, New Jersey 101.5, the defendant, identified as G.M.C., allegedly filmed himself penetrating a drunk girl from behind and sent the video to his friends. In his text message, he reportedly wrote, “When your first time having sex was rape.”
