        @BBCNews Unless he raped her in the pool.... "Swimmer" is ENTIRELY irrelevant. Even then, a stretch.

        @BBCNews you mean "raping an unconscious woman". Also, why is the fact that he's a swimmer so important to the story?

        "raping" the word you were looking for is RAPING.

        Rape covers penetration only, sexual assault covers ANY none consensual sexual act. He also molested her.

        Yes I do understand. First hand actually. Sexual assault is by no means a lesser crime as you seem to think it is. Please look it up.

        Be angry for the right reasons. The injustice, the wrong that was done to that woman not wording in an article.
