Question
Ive checked out all halchas on women getting raped and Im wondering what the halacha is it a woman or a man raped a man
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom and Moadim Le'simcha
The Talmud Sanhendrin 9b speaks about this specifically;
"And Rav Yosef also says, If a man testifies that so-and-so sodomized him against his will, he and another witness may combine as a valid pair of witnesses to kill the defendant for the sin of homosexual sodomy (see Vayikra 18:22, and 20:13). "
Meaning his testimony is accepted by the Bet Din to be punished with the death penalty of stoning. (See Rambam :
רמב"ם הלכות עדות פרק יב הלכה ב, רמב"ם הלכות איסורי ביאה פרק א הלכה ו
