Original Note:
Rape in English law requires that a person’s anus, mouth or vagina be penetrated with a penis. This therefore would not meet the definition of rape. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape This does not likely meet the criteria of deception to vitiate consent under section 74, as per CPS guidance: https://www.cps.gov.uk/publication/consultation-cps-guidance-deception-gender-summary-responses
