She rushed to reassure him. “It was consensual (and wonderful)!” she wrote.

This is an awful situation to be in and I know people often don’t think clearly after experiencing sexual trauma, but she really didn’t do herself any favors by sending text messages like that.

Palmer sounds extremely manipulative too.
