Corruption that occurs by violence should not be charged. Therefore, even if a slave is raped by her master, she is not guilty. (Ankyr. 11; Gregory Neoces. 1; Basil the Great. 30). One of the masters raped one of his slave girls, and when asked by Amphilochius whether this girl is subject to the penance prescribed for fornicators, Basil the Great in his present rule answers that such a girl is not subject to any penance, just as girls who are forced to allow someone to defile them by force are not subject to any punishment at all.
