Sophia Collier clearly wrote that there were followers who saw Maharaji as a human being though a somewhat special one. And may be if Rawat had sex with such a follower then this woman did not experience it as sexual abuse but as a privilege. It may be somewhat inappropriate, unethical behavior on Maharaji's part but it does not, in my view, classify as sexual abuse. Something like that happened to Mary Garden as she described in her book the "Serpent Rising". Her guru made her pregnant and advised her to have an abortion.
