This is awful, but I wonder what I technically illegal about it. It a misleading manipulative lie, but it’s not illegal to lie about personal topics, I don’t think.

It’s fucking rape.

False name, false life story, false reason for having sex with her. He had sex with her in order to spy on her.

Soon: it was rape because I thought he was nice.
If everything is rape, then nothing is.

It’s sex under false pretences and deception. That’s a legally defined rape.

I agree with you. If being misleading is equal to rape, then this rule can easily be abused.

If a woman has sex with me (hypothetically) because she saw me wearing expensive clothes, but later it turns out they were cheap imitations, that would be misleading, but not rape.
