RAPE FANTASY CULTURE: Woman asks to be raped, so it wasn’t really rape.

Kayla Bowen,, a 24-year-old Clarksville, Tennessee woman pleaded guilty to making false report to officers, a Class D felony. . . .

It turns out Bowen had solicited the “rape” to fulfill a sexual fantasy. From a news report: “A Clarksville Police investigation uncovered a Craigslist ad she posted titled ‘Have a deep dark fantasy.’ In the ad, Bowen said she wanted to be raped and for anyone who responds to say how they would do it and why, according to her arrest warrant.”

This reminds me of the earlier, similar case of Mary Kate Gullickson, a 20-year-old Fargo, North Dakota woman:

A student who advertised a sex fantasy on Craigslist involving a mock rape has been arrested after she later claimed to have been abducted and attacked. . . .

The man told police he answered an advert placed on Craigslist by Gullickson who was seeking sex in a role play fantasy that involved her being kidnapped and raped.

He said he was instructed to grab her off the street, bound her with duct tape, force her to have sex and then drop her off.

Investigators tracked down Gullickson’s Craigslist advert and uncovered the email and phone number associated with it.

And then there’s the case of Morgan Triplett, a 20-year-old UC Santa Barbara student (although the motive here remains a matter of speculation):

On February 17, Triplett called 9-1-1 to report she had been raped . . . authorities became suspicious when Triplett refused to provide her clothing as evidence or allow DNA samples to be sent away for testing. . . .

Police determined Triplett had instead actually met a man through Craigslist who agreed to kick and punch her and be paid afterward with sex. Triplett would eventually admit to fabricating the rape incident.
