Why God allows rape?

I do commend Frank for facing and able to deal with such challenge boldly and kindly.

However, as smart as Frank is, his limitation in focusing only on "you are borrowing from God's worldview" does not allow him to answer the question. He probably doesn't even realize that he was evading the question.

My answer is this:

Why there are rapes? and Why does God allow rape? are two different questions.

Why there are rape? Because men are fallen.

Why does God allow rape? Is it God respecting our free will? true. But more importantly, God allows it because He does not owe us anything else. There's no fault in God because He is the creator of all these: The same reason why I don't flood my backyard with pesticide everyday. The same reason why God doesn't create men and women in a way that one cannot rape the other.
