I think most of the more serious issues have been addressed, including the ethical issues regarding the possibility of your RP buddy being a teenager or younger.

However, at the age of 13 I was mature enough to handle and discuss a roleplay situation that involved rape. Age isn't necessarily a factor, and as someone stated, the internet provides enough text or otherwise fantasy of that nature without the need for a MUD doing it.

The solution to your 'problem'? Communicate! Talk to the person in question, ask if he is planning this (try not to sound angry, but inquisitive) and if you decide within yourself that it's something that could work very well for your roleplay, see to making suggestions that together you can work with.

As for the administration, don't get them involved. It either is or is not acceptable on the MUD in question. If in doubt, they would tell you not to do it anyway, incase other parties got unintentionally involved.

You may very well find out that the player in question has no desire for anything other than to be able to include a 'He committed rape and consequently went about reforming his life' line in his character history.

Then again, he might want to know your address.
