So when Robyn passed out at Al´s house...?

Was she raped by him? It´s pretty obvious that she was drugged, so did he rape her? I assume the answer is yes, but what do you all think?

I don't think he raped her. He was trying to woo her in a sick, pathetic way. He was smitten, but didn't know how to truly love.

i also think that his sole intention was to con her into thinking that he was 'decent' and trustworthy. this would help keep her attention away from him if anything suspicious came up regarding tui's investigation. i think a woman would kind of know if she had been violated or not.

He also didn't want her looking around his house (even though her invited her there).

If he had raped her, she would've known for sure what happenend.

I explained it above more clearly, she wouldn't have known for sure. If he was careful there would be nothing to feel after a few hours of sleep.

If Al didn't want her looking at his house he never would of left her there in the morning.

If you notice, when she went to get her clothing she was in the basement. AKA the brown rape room with the Deer Head right there the whole time. She missed it because he had a shirt hanging from the antlers.

I have to watch this scene again, because I missed that. I wonder why he was so bold about leaving her in his house alone, I'm guessing he was confident she didn't suspect anything, so he knew she wouldn't bother to look around.

Anybody that could rape twelve year olds, must not be interested in older women. I don't feel he raped her. I think he just used to flirt to keep suspicion off himself but I think he's a pedophile interested in teens.

Teenage love affairs are about intensity, not longevity

i believe she was raped.
he didn't have to lie to her about small things like he did, it was quite obvious that he put drugs in her wine and then she woke up with his clothes.

Why would he have knocked her out because it clearly shows her drinking more than one glass of wine other times and not having any problem. So, the other question is why did she do nothing?

Right, you'd think especially with her being a cop she would go get a blood test to see if she had been drugged. I also find it really far fetched that the young girl would have been taken back to her father's house like nothing happened. She would have been kept safe until they knew who raped her or her father was cleared.
