Only women are the sluts who will do anything for money, amirite?

You do realize that the women in these domestic abuse shelters don't get to stay forever...right? Most of them let people stay around a month, and the ones who allow them to stay longer are very few indeed. Given the price of apartments, and the necessary funds to get a lease on one, the average unemployed women won't get the money together to get an apartment in a month. So what happens when she can't stay at the shelter after that month? She's homeless, that's what. Then she has to rely on those shelters, which usually offer a bed--if one can be had--for only a night.

Shelters work if you have resources to get from there to a safer place. But they aren't very much help to women in quite dire straits. So tell me what you would do if you were a woman facing living homeless, and a wealthy, powerful man was "offering to help."

This scumbag was abusing her by taking advantage of her in her time of need. That's still coercion, no matter how anybody slices it. And a coerced sex act is sexual assault, at a minimum.

Real life is far more complicated than your simplistic and misogynistic notions of women "using" poor, pitiful rich men who abuse them to "get a payday."

Do keep up.
