CDA, it doesn't matter whether magic is used or not because it's the same principle.

When someone pretends to be someone they are not (even twins or lookalikes) does such a deed, it's rape by deception. Zelena, for all simplicity's sake, pretended to be someone she's not and commited the act. It's rape by deception.

When someone uses positions of power, drugs, etc to pass over someone's consent and commit the act, it's still rape.

These are real life touchy subjects and the show gesturing (at the very least) towards those actions is iffy, but worse when those victims (on the show) end up dead while the other person sort of getting away scot-free (well, Zelena was imprisoned for a bit). That leaves certain viewers with a sense that there was no justice, no hope for a show that claims to be all about hope. What hope is there when people are destroyed and some even into oblivion.
