I do actually believe that anyone who had sex with their "partners" during the first curse was tecnically rape in the strictest sense of the word. Because they may be in a consensual relationship under the curse but they were forced into that relationship but its still very difficult to place blame because tecnically Regina was the rapist but never actually slept with any of them. I mean Charming had very little love for Abigail in the Enchanted Forest and I dont think that either of them wanted sex except to produce an heir. They both were in love with other people so forcing them into a married relationship which you knew would invole them sleeping togther is forcing two people who would not normally ever have sex to have sex, which is pretty much the definition of rape.

Ruby I can accept as never actually having sex with anyone but she prop had the memories of sleeping around which was a effect of the curse.
