Love the wording for the charges, "causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent".
That's an awful lot of words for rape.
The wording covers men and women. In the US rape is usually defined as vaginal penetration. Sex acts is usually defined as everything but vaginal.
...it's from a odd technicality where on ol' blighty, a male can't be "raped" because of how the laws are written. Call it a peculiarity of their system or sexism, but it results in oddly sounding charges like what you see reported at least.
