Naggs at a Buck Party: Stripper Arrested for Rape Insists that Use of Sex Toy Was “Joke”

Now, this is a rare rape case. The female defendant is accused of raping a man in front of witnesses with a sex toy and then admits to the penetration but insists that it was a joke. That is the case of stripper Maree Naggs who was arrested after a “buck’s party” (bachelor party) in Australia.

Naggs told police “it was just a joke” after the victim (the best man) complained that he had been violated and threw her out of the party. Yet, this presents a novel problem for prosecutors. The alleged victim joined Naggs who put on the pink strap-on toy — though he says that he discouraged her. She is clearly arguing that she assumed consent in this environment. Yet, penetration is a classic definition of rape when done without consent.

He would also have a claim for assault and battery under torts for such a case — as well as negligence. He could even claim vicarious liability by respondeat superior against her employer — a rare battery within the scope of employment.

Naggs has pleaded not guilty.
