I ran across something recently. Seems this is not a completely ground-breaking issue in Israel. There have been previous rape convictions for sex on fraudulent inducement - claims of wealth or ability. See this Haaretz article, but the critical paragraph from it reads:

In 2008, the High Court of Justice set a precedent on rape by deception, rejecting an appeal of the rape conviction by Zvi Sleiman, who impersonated a senior official in the Housing Ministry whose wife worked in the National Insurance Institute. Sleiman told women he would get them an apartment and increased NII payments if they would sleep with him.
