Article doesn't mention anything about where this happened.
Motel 6? The local morgue? ICU of the local hospital? Dumpster behind WalMart?

Anyway, depending on the circumstances, I think this dude gave the wrong answer. I mean, can you legally rape a dead person? Guess it depends on the legal definition of rape in Indiana. Can a dead person be forced to do something "against their will".

Maybe the guy was taking a walk out in the cow pasture during a new moon and mistook her for a "real" cow.

They say for every guy there's a woman out there, but how hurtin must this guy be!
