Playing the devil's advocate here. And before I do, let me be clear that I find what Zelena did to Robin to be terrible.

The only reason I don't focus on the sexual aspect of what Zelena did is that she had magically co-opted Marian's Identity. This was an extreme and magical case of complete Identity theft. And part of assuming the role of Marian included having sexual relations with Robin. It was one piece of the puzzle. In order to maintain her cover (which she was actively trying to do), she had to have sexual relations with Robin.

Given their circumstances, we don't know if Zelena (as Marian) initiated the activities, or if she just participated to maintain her cover. Or Both.

Is what Zelena did wrong? Absolutely. Is what she did rape? that is debateable, even by today's legal standards. From a strictly legal standpoint, you'd have an easier chance of convicting Zelena on Identity Theft than on any sex based charges.
