"Rape by Deception" is not an actual crime here in the United States, and its main usage in the UK was over a transgender not fessing up to the gender switch...hmmm...I'll bet within a few years that will be thrown out as being "transphobic."

The actual cases mentioned in the United States in that Wikipedia article don't even come close to what happened with Hook - they involved sleeping women in the dark who did not give their consent, by men who were posing as boyfriends...in one case having sex with her while she was sleeping, which I think would be a form of rape even if it were her boyfriend.

That is not the same thing whatsoever as Hook choosing to have sex with a woman he did not know who appeared to be blonde and pretty. The only modern equivalent I can think of would be someone putting on some sort of mask or amazing make-up to look like someone else, and then the next day, their partner finding out they didn't look like that at all. That would never be prosecuted as rape, ever.
