Thanks for pointing this out.

He claims that he asked her several times if she consented and that he had been given the impression that she did.

Seems like it was more of an "unintentional rape", like manslaughter is unintentional murder. Wrong: yes. Bad judgment: yes. Deliberate malice: maybe not.

yeah i fail to see how this is rape. i guess every drunken hookup we later regret is a rape

You don't see a problem with this guy being alone in a room with a woman in a vulnerable position having her genitals touched?

If there's a problem with him being a doctor, he shouldn't be a doctor. The idea that vaginas are somehow especially vulnerable is mysticism.
