She broke into his house to violate him and take away his grimm powers. She changed herself into Juliette to do so and not once did she reveal herself as Adalind to him.
Wearing makeup, telling tall tales, using "enhancements" are not deceptions aimed at an end result of rape. Women and men go to bars for different reasons. I don't see how your example compares to what Adalind did. Her reactions are not typical of someone going to a bar and in my opinion, should not be compared to that type of activity.
I agree with you that these examples aren't really comparable. We all saw what happened. The methods Adalind used undoubtedly make this rape. We know why Adalind did it and it wasn't for a bad reason but the way she went about it still makes this a clear-cut rape.
The two easiest ways to identify rape is when someone has sex against their will and when someone can't give consent to the person they're having sex with at the time. This is most definitely the latter.
I'll stop here because know some posters have to be tired of the talk about sexual assault but it touches a nerve whenever this subject is brought up and there are some many denials. I've seen it happen way too often.

Those hairs were from a Wesen in "Woge",that a serious part of an ape and another human.A mixture of two different species,a chimera, which was strange because there are usually such things.
A dog with wolf genes would be normal but this would be very weird
You point out an interesting piece of factual scene. To me, this had less to do than Juliette trying to prove the existing possibility of some type of unknown hybrid and more to do with her mistrust of Nick.
With her knowing this fact of this DNA inconsistency. You would expect for her to at least lend Nick an ear, later on in the show, when he was trying to open her up to his Wesen world. Instead, her superlative higher educated attitude just dismissed him as a lower educated insignificant other.
Hey, how's that for "writer's intent"?
That's quite the spin. How did you get to that conclusion? Juliette saw that there was DNA from two different species. That's a fact. I don't really see how this was used to show her mistrust of Nick. She didn't know he was a Grimm or about wesen and she did go to med school. Her higher education did matter in this case.
