Sexual misconduct: Definition of terms is first step

Re: “ Democrats: Moral high ground lost long ago” (TNT letters, 12/21).

Sexual misconduct is not about Republicans or Democrats, it’s about the difference between an affair and a rape. It might help some people to get out the dictionary and look up the definition of rape, affair and consensual.
