Buffy did not want sex and was in pain from a fight she just had. Spike only stopped because Buffy stopped him and she was injured by him so that was sexual assault. Sex by using deception (pretending to be someone you are not) where their are no drugs or the like involved is legally sexual assault too.
Let us summarize it - you said Spike raped Buffy (but there was no rape involved) He tried it, but failed.
Adalind raped Nick ( and there was no rape involved) Is it right? Because this makes absolutely no sense.

If you’re suggesting the show should explore or viewers should judge the legal ramifications, then Diana’s kidnapping must also be considered. The legal system may not accept Adalind’s attempt to find her kidnapped baby as an acceptable defense, but it also won’t accept that Kelly and Nick kidnapped someone’s child because they deemed it necessary.
Your argument that only one crime occurred is biased. Add that in one show the victim/assailant is a slayer/vampire and in the other show a Grimm/Hexenbiest, there’s hardly a legal precedent for a court to consider.
