When you deceive someone, you take that choice away from them, because you are manipulating them into making a choice they shouldn’t be really making.
It’s just like those cases where women who wish to join the glamorous film industry end up getting duped into prostitution or marginalised women looking for work to support their families through agents get caught in human trafficking. Moreover if you take into consideration how Sudhir, Amir joined MJ it was obviously seemed believable enough to prey on an unsuspecting young woman.
When a person is raped their life is ruined, similarly getting exploited sexually also ruins their life.
But still a really smart person can get away unscathed. The victim can make a choice to believe him or not. Had Maya not been so naive, she wouldn't have fallen for MJ. Or should've broken it off midway. She did have that much of an agency.
In deceit, the victim has the time and space to analyze actions and think over things.
In rape, you cannot do anything unless you can defeat the predator's strength.
