Man's Shocking Defense in Rape Case Raises Questions About Consent and Medical Conditions. In a highly disturbing and unusual case, a man accused of rape has taken an astonishing defense, claiming that the alleged victim consented to sex because he has a penile implant. The man's lawyer argued that the device, which is designed to treat erectile dysfunction, meant that the sex was not "actual" sex. However, experts are questioning the validity of this defense, pointing out that the presence of a penile implant does not negate the need for clear and enthusiastic consent. As the case makes its way through the courts, it is likely to spark a wider debate about the complexities of consent and the role of medical conditions in determining what constitutes rape.
