Is it considered necrophilia if the victim is in a coma?

Answer 1

Not in the usual sense- as Necro means Dead- Necrology is an old word for obituaries. The rape of a woman in a coma-= or a related handicap that severely limits consent- and everything else, is indeed a Grave crime. It has happened . I heard a woman interviewed years ago on Focus on the Family who had been raped as a college student- the odd thing was - she was Blind and it happened in a dorm and she did not realize what was going on until too late. These are horrible unfair advances to people who have handicapping conditions- The rape of an unconscious woman is not, however Necrophilia, but a live subject, it is Rape or assault and possibly endangerment as well as there are health hazards involved.
