Rape is a crime simply because the violation of one's right to choose the person with whom one wants to have sexual intercourse is a crime. Therefore, I repeat that in my opinion rape should be punished severely. I would have no problem at all to help the spirit of such a criminal to escape from its shell.
However, rape is not intrinsically evil: the victim will always remain a victim remembering her abuse during all her life, but some children that come into being as the fruit of rape have the chance to live and enjoy a good life. The children that received the gift of life through the crime of rape, are neither a product of "evil" nor "evil" themselves -they are just innocent, wonderful children;

It is not intrinsically evil, because rape under certain circumstances becomes the means of the gift of life.
It is not intrinsically non-evil, because rape is definitely a crime under all circumstances.
It is not intrinsically both evil and non-evil, because it cannot be properly said that rape is both a crime and not a crime.
It is intrinsically neither evil and non-evil, because it cannot be properly said that rape is neither a crime nor a non-crime.

The good or bad actions of one incarnation will/may impact on the next one. (So a mass murderer in this life may get his comeuppance in his next incarnation,...possibly coming back as your therapist).

Becker, how is it decided if it is rape?
The consensus law decides.
Your argument is hollow.

No. As I told you earlier, my answer to your question is: It is neither evil, nor non-evil, nor both, nor neither;

It is not intrinsically both e ...[text shortened]... d non-evil, because it cannot be properly said that rape is neither a crime nor a non-crime.
