    all your lawyer has to do is point out the ordinary meaning of the word rape encompasses the plaintiff’s crime.

    You can’t use ordinary meanings in the court of law… that’s the entire issue and why it’s a thing. You say ordinary, and than use the word crime. Now you would need to use the legal definition instead of ordinary, if it was a thing, which it isn’t… You shot your own foot in that situation.
