No, it would not make it "ok". It has nothing to do with being caught in the act. If the community opposes rape, the community sees it as wrong. If someone wants to be part of a community but acts contrary to the agreed rules, he won't last very long there.

I am a sentient entity made of matter and energy. And I do stuff that makes me happy. I will continue this process until the death of my physical body.

You must learn that what you think you know is nothing more than words,words which amount to nothing in the end,words that wont change humanity for the better...

Words do exist, and they convey meaning to individuals and groups. While they're alive, that is. Once life is gone, so is the meaning.
"Humanity" does not exist except as a concept. It's a superset of smaller groups such as one's own family. There is nothing magical about "humanity".

we are not the same as animals in as much as our soul makes us far more complicated

Existence of "soul" - Not proven. We can imagine that we have such a thing, but imagining doesn't make it so. I consider myself part of the animal community, not some species "above" the animal world.
