Danny Brown: Unsolicited Oral Sex On Rapper Was Rape

Article here. Excerpt:

'If you’re not tuned in to #raptwitter, you may have missed rapper Danny Brown’s on-stage forced oral sex during a recent show in Minneapolis.

You may also have missed the news because no one, other than Brown’s opening act and protege Kitty Pryde, is calling what happened forced oral sex, or what it really should be called — rape.

Vanessa Quilantan, a columnist at the Dallas Observer’s DC9 At Night music blog has determined, even though she wasn’t at the concert in Minneapolis, that there’s no way that Danny Brown’s on-stage sexual assault wasn’t consensual, and her reasoning is exactly why men don’t report their sexual assaults — because the media, police, and the people in their lives don’t believe them.
...
Because he didn’t ask for it. He didn’t say yes. He didn’t consent to having a fan jump out of the crowd, pull his penis from his pants, and begin performing oral sex. I live in Texas, and wondered exactly what the wording of the sexual assault statute was. Sure enough, Section 22.011 of the Texas Penal Code defines this exact act as forcible sexual assault:

§ 22.011. SEXUAL ASSAULT. (a) A person

commits an offense if the person:
...
(C) causes the sexual organ of another person, without that person's consent, to contact or penetrate the mouth, anus, or sexual organ of another person, including the actor.'
