Rape is a term to accurately describe the actions of a crime. Because of the nature of the crime, not the word itself, the word 'rape' carries with it negative connotations. So, to remove the word and not the description is not removing the negative connotations. It's a waste, and not only that it communicates how the judge is willing to treat the jury as if they're all complete idiots. If I was on that jury, I'd cause a mistrial in order for the case to get a judge who didn't have his or her head up his or her ass.
