Hi Joy
That never came up, but Norbu was a familyman. For rape you should ask 
the Kargyudpa tradition especially the late Kalu Rche has made himself a 
reputation. I must say that I was rather embarrassed when an elderly and 
important rinpoche of this tradition kissed me on the mouth and asked me 
to visit him early in the morning in his chambers (I cannot remember his 
name now).
