Am I wrong about being raped?
I'll make this short: When I was 16, I was dating this guy. One day, he showed up at my home. He was drunk, and forced himself on me. I tried to push him off: I said "No!" and "Stop!". I cried. After, he tried to get in contact with me, and I told him what he did. He claimed to not remember. I got Orders of Protections against him. He was diagnosed with psychosis later on, which made me question whether or not he is excused from his actions. Drunk and psychotic. Was it still rape? Would I have been able to file charges against him?
I know it's too late now. It's been 6 years since it happened. He still tries to contact me. I mean, literally, I've had him arrested for violating Order of Protection only to get a phone call from him from jail. He's relentless. I just needed to know that I could have done something, that I should have done something. But, I guess it's my fault for not reporting.

Yes, however what degree of responsibility foe his actions a court might attribute to him could be another issue.

Yes it was rape. Change your phone number so he can't call you from jail.
If you never received counseling for it, you should. That is something that always needs to be discussed and dealt with. It's been 6 years and you are still trying to avoid him so this is not an issue that has been put on the back shelf and forgotten about.
"Know that it’s never too late to call. Even if the incest happened years ago, the Rape Recovery Center can still help. Many victims do not realize they need help until months or years later." - This statement came from the site below:

At this time it would be harder to prosecute than in the immediate aftermath of the attack. He probably would have been criminally prosecuted. Maybe his attorney could have gotten some traction with an insanity or diminished capacity defense, maybe not.

Any act of force against someone that is clearly saying no to his or her advancement is a violation upon the victim (you).

If he is not your husband, and you do not/ did not want him on you then yes that is rape. In the bible acts such as that is adultury. Yes you can press charges. Its rape. I know I would.
