Jim and Brenda dated for approximately 12 months before they finally ended their tumultuous relationship. One evening six months into the relationship, Brenda alleges that Jim forced her to engage in sexual intercourse against her will. Brenda suffered some injuries, and Jim drove her to a local hospital for medical treatment. Brenda did not report the incident to the police at that time and in fact continued to date Jim for another six months.

Brenda reported the incident only after the two ended their relationship. Jim claims Brenda is just “bitter” that he dumped her and is trying to ruin his reputation. Assuming what Brenda says is true, can Jim be charged with rape? Why or why not?
