Not attempting to take this the wrong way, but... I did not take the subject lightly. Yes, rape is serious, but this story isn't a great missive, or a great work of art, it's a story, meant to entertain.
Given the instance in real life of unknown factors, 'recovered memories' that may or may not be false, mistaken identities, etc, rape cases themselves are not always conclusive. That was part of what this story was meant to portray, a man accused, and you, the reader, are not sure if a) he did it, b) someone else did, or c) if the rape even occurred.
The story wasn't 'conclusive' on purpose. This, however, does not mean that rape as a subject is taken lightly in it, I do show that the girl is horribly affected, as well as Harry. In no way was it treated facetiously.
I'm a survivor myself, so I do know a bit of where I'm coming from. I'm glad you enjoyed the fic anyway, and thank you for the comment.
