I'm pretty sure two men I know are rapists. I'm also pretty sure one of them is in denial about it. The other... aware, concerned, makes a show of how he's changed and I don't trust him an inch. I don't let either of them into my home. One, I haven't seen for 20+ years, so that's not hard. The other is a friend-of-a-friend, which can be a bit difficult. But I know women who have suffered serious harassment from both. I'm with Rose on this. One of these men coerced me into sex by bullying, blackmail and threats. It wasn't exactly rape, because I said 'oh, all right' under the pressure. I find it unforgivable, all the same. I'm not the only woman in my social circle to whom he did this.
