Original Note:
This alleged rapist is clearly a man. Under UK law, rape is by definition penetration by penis. The legislation specifically refers to 'he' and 'his' penis. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape# A woman may be charged with rape if she assists a rapist, but the report indicates he acted alone https://archive.ph/aQQZF
