The key point being "valid consent" and its contravention by deception. i.e. It's not valid if what you are consenting to is a lie, namely who you think you are having sex with.
The problem with that definition is that it doesn’t define what kinds of deception are sufficient to make sex qualify as rape.
Does any lie automatically turn sex into rape, or are there limits, e.g. only if you lie about working for the state?
Why for example would not disclosing that you are a cop be different from not disclosing that you are a doctor or an engineer?
This entire idea that merely lying about who you before sex are constitutes rape is simply not true.
Certain deceptions may be crimes, but that is completely different.
