It's not complicated. After reading all the published reports posted online and most of the books about the incident, I guess I can safely say that MMY did not rape Mia Farrow.
So, let's review what we know: John and Cynthia went to a yoga meditation camp over in India, according to Nancy. Paul was there too, with Jane Asher. At the yoga camp, John tried to sneak Yoko Ono in through the bathroom window, but Cynthia kicked John out of the bedroom, according to Cynthia. John went over to Paul and Jane's room and they smoked some weed smuggled in by Magic Alex, according to Chopra. When MMY found out about it, he kicked John and Paul out of the camp. When John and Paul got back from India they told a few fibs about their experience in India as a cover-up. Then, John grew a long beard, dressed himself up in white pajamas, shacked up with Yoko in a Canadian hotel room,and went on TV to demonstrate their yoga technique - bed yoga for world peace. You can't make this stuff up.
