I presume you refer to the book and article by June Campbell? There have been some heated discussions on and off the net on that subject. I am not sure it can be called rape, but some details mentioned in the book I found disturbing. I did hear about another genuin rape affair in the same lineage, where a court case was prevented by a financial setllement.

A kiss during the first encounter with a bodhisattva, being eaten by him the next existence and finally being liberated. You're almost there ;-)
