I'm happy to concede that example 1 isn't a genuine case of rape. But example 2
is. What if person A holds a gun to B's head and tells B to murder C. Normally
murder is a two place relation, but you're not going to tell me that no murder
has taken place! I think I would be inclined to say that B has killed C but
that A is the murderer. By analogy, the woman in example 2 has sex with
Anthony, but the third party is the rapist.
