Reply to comment by dman928 in A Rikers Officer Had Sex With a Detainee. It Took 7 Years to Fire Him. by marshall_project

The detainee did say it was consensual. Obviously you can argue there's no real consent with this kind of power dynamic, but for journalistic purposes, don't think you can fault them for using this headline as the most accurate summary.

There is no such thing as consent in this situation.

You can't have consensual sex with your prisoner. That's rape.

I don't believe it matters under the law. As the other responder alluded to, if a minor said (even if they do not understand) that they consented to sex with an adult, that's still against the law as it's implied a minor cannot consent, same as how someone imprisoned cannot truly give consent due to the power dynamic and often under duress
