Rape by proxy

[1] In September 2007 a Utah woman raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints brought to court a rape by proxy case against the church leader Warren Jeffs whom she claims coerced her to marry her 19-year-old cousin and have sex with him when she was 14 years old.

[4] Among acts of sexual violence in the Tigray War in Ethiopia and Eritrea has been reported cases of men and boys being forced to rape their family members under threats of violence or death.

[5][6] In 2014 in Prince George's County, Maryland, a woman and her daughters were the victim of several attempted assaults by men who were contacted by fake social media contacts posing to be the woman asking them to come to her home to engage in rape fantasies.

Brian Frosh and Kathleen Dumais of The Baltimore Sun noted that "though her ex-husband was eventually brought to justice, prosecutors were forced to cobble together a lengthy list of charges to accumulate a sentence that would fit this novel crime" and that the phenomenon is not unique and needs new legislation to handle.

[7] As a result of this case the state senate passed a bill outlawing "posting information about another person advertising that they would welcome being sexually assaulted".
