Shia LeBeouf "raped" by a woman while on public display - Laughable or Serious?
Because this is Shia LeBeouf and it's Shia LeBeouf performing an art instillation the scenario is quite a strange one, to sat the least. However, Shia LeBeouf is using the word rape when he describes how a woman entered his instillation (where he was sitting in silence, like an object to be viewed by the general public) and proceeded to have sex with him. With both the girl's and Shia's other halves standing outside. By the rules of his instillation he could not speak or react to what the public did to him:

This is a bit more silly a situation than a traditional rape scenario... but then is it? There is clearly some interesting and theoretical lines being drawn and crossed here.
On the one hand is this a laughable use of the word rape by someone who has a reputation for being a bit of a public mockery?
Or
On the other hand is this an example of how women are as equally susceptible to unwelcome sexual deviance as men, should the right conditions present themselves? Shia himself obviously believes this is rape, but, then, no criminal investigation?
Or
Is this a non-story (baring in mind the current climate on such a topic)?

“One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me,” said LaBeouf. “There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with disheveled hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well.”
