The legal definition of rape in American includes statutory rapes, and, yes, rape by deception. There have been cases of taking advantage of drunk people and of identical twins comitting rape by deception. Legally speaking, Zelena did rape Robin. If you take the verbatim meaning of rape to be "nonconsensual sex", then Zelena and Robin's relationship qualifies. Robin did not consent to have sex with Zelena. He consented to have sex with his wife Marian. Wether Zelena's actions are as morally despicable as forceful rape is irrelevant. Regina and Zelena have raped at least one person each along the lines of their lives, but that's no worse than mass murder, and I don't see why they can't come back from it and redeem like with all their other crimes.
