I suspect that might go to appeal because under English law, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/rape rape occurs

A person (A) commits an offence if—

(a)he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,

(b)B does not consent to the penetration, and

(c)A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
