RAPE BY DECEPTION

The issue of rape by deception has been contentious in terms of determining if it is
actually a legal criminal offence or not. In 1984, Jacqui met an undercover agent named Bob
Lambert who was posing as a Bob Robinson. Bob was working as an animal rights activist
whilst in the real sense he was an undercover agent for the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS).
One year later Jacqui became pregnant with her first born and Lambert appeared to be supportive
of the pregnancy. However, Bob disappeared from Jacqui’s life soon after the baby was born and
it was only in 2012 that Jacqui learnt that Bob was actually an undercover agent. Jacqui came to
learn of Bob’s true identity after she spotted his name in the newspaper. Jacqui said in an
interview that, "I was not consenting to sleeping with Bob Lambert, I didn't know who Bob
Lambert was. I had a spy living with me, sleeping with me, making a family with me, and I
didn't do anything to deserve that." Jacqui consented to having sex with Bob (Lambert or
Robinson) and therefore this was not a standard case of rape as Jacqui claimed. Bob did not force

was she mentally unstable or under the influence of any drugs at the point where she agreed to
engage in sexual activities with Bob.

Nineteen year old Talia Johnson was the victim of a rape at a fraternity party (Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 2014). This week’s video depiction highlights Talia’s struggle with navigating her way back into the life she knew prior to the sexual assault (Laureate Education, 2013). The social worker has a glimpse into her daily life, particularly as she struggles with her parent’s understandable discomfort with their daughter remaining on campus (Laureate Education, 2013). Talia views her current situation as stagnant and not easily changeable. During these situations, the professional charged with helping the client achieve the best positive outcomes when pairing their innate resiliency with a Strengths Based Perspective (Zastrow and Kirst- Ashman, 2016). Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman recognize the importance of emphasizing one’s resiliency, particularly when faced with undeniable adversity (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016).
