For the sake of clarity you left off the last WT change of view, as found below.
NO
Awake! 3/8/93 p.5
"MYTH:A rape victim bears part of the blame unless she actively resists."
"FACT:Rape by definition takes place when force or the threat of force is used to gain sexual penetration, of any kind whatsoever, against a person's will."
"Thus, a rape victim is not guilty of fornication."
"When a woman is forced to submit to a rapist out of terror or disorientation, it does not mean that she consents to the act. Consent is based on choice without threat and is active, not passive."
