So, I just wanted to seek knowledge regarding my situation. Unfortunately I wasn't educated on the matter when I was younger.
So I'm an autistic male, born on 1992, and when I was in my early 20's, I was put into a situation where I had an unwanted sexual encounter with a female. I explicitly said I didn't want engage in sexual acts with her and she continued when I wanted to withdraw consent.
So my question is - she threatened me that if I told anyone about what she did, she was going use the definition of r**e against me. She led me to believe that I couldn't do anything. So, what I want from this is some help and a new perspective on the laws.
It's been 4 years now and I'm not seeking to do anything about it all. I want to know what my rights are in that situation. The humiliation of being a male was hard for me and I had people telling me how it wasn't r**e because I wanted it. Or why, because I'm a male, I would want turn down "free sex" - that being from both men and women in general - just bad people.
I am unsure what I would have done if I fought back and it got violent.

Is being forced to penetrate & preform sexual acts be counted in Australia as r**e under criminal law? Or was what happened to me just an unwanted sexual assault and not r**e by law?
Given the links, what I think it's saying is that it's addressing multiple types and the law reform said that it's no longer gender specific because it address that men can be forced into intercourse.
Was there any discrepancies on what I was reading regarding only addressing penile penetration, or was it that she was right and I couldn't have done anything and it was her word against mine and that I was in the wrong? Sadly I had people say that I was somehow.
So, would what's needed? Like, would micro tears on my foreskin be somehow evidence? I know the situation is dire and that it can only prove that intercourse occurred, but not if it was consensual. Do police look for that? Or is there no way for me to prove that I had been forced to preform sexual acts?
