According to California law it's literally rape. So you're quibbling over fine line definitions for no reason. In addition, the woman would not have had sex with him if not for his position and authority. The fact that she didn't scream and complain is irrelevant. It's the same as if a woman doesn't fight off an aggressor because shes afraid of more or worse violence. The lack of physical resistance is not consent.

Yes you get due process, with a bias towards believing the system. People can often spend months in jail before the process progresses to the point where the charges get dropped. So yes a police officer doesn't have the power to put you in custody for your whole life, but they do have the power to put you at the mercy of a flawed system where you are rolling the dice with your future.

So just to clarify, if a police officer has someone arrested and says "perform sexual favors or I'll make your punishment more severe potentially affecting you life and livelihood" that to you is the same as a bribe?

This hit way too hard. I find it so hard to just enjoy my hobbies because I feel like I'm breaking the rules.
