Lisa’s doctor has informed her that there is a new cure for menstrual cramps. For the cure to work, the doctor must inject the serum into an anonymous donor who she will have sex with. The doctor ordered Lisa to meet the donor in a nearby hotel the next day and he would make sure that the procedure was completed. Lisa did as she was told, had sex with the donor, and later found out that she had not been cured, nor was there ever a cure to begin with. Lisa claims that she was raped. Was Lisa raped?
