I very carefully chose the phrasing of:

>The author doesn't appear to want to make the claim that Mr. Pretty raped her

That is quite different from the question of whether what happened was rape. (EDIT: To make it clear, if it did happen as the author writes, then I totally agree that it was rape. This is completely distinct from the question of the author's intent to make the claim that she was raped. The word does not occur in her piece.)
