The Holy Spirit doesn't enter without your permission. If your talking about Mary, she was a jewess and as a jewess, she knew that at some point in time some young woman would be blessed by being chosen to be the vessel by which the Messiah would come. Her response was not one where you would think that she did not welcome the Holy Spirit. The endwelling of the Holy Spirit is spiritual, not physical and since rape is a physical act of violence, I would have to say an emphatic NO to your question.

There is a picture of Jesus knocking at someones door. There is no door knob. When someone asked the painter why he left out the door knob, he answered: "Because the door must be opened from within."
The Holy Spirit can not enter your life without your consent.
To equate the experience of God with rape is an insult to this site and to the people who take it seriously.

I can tell you know NOTHING of the Bible. You just make up
your own faith as you go eh? But as to whether the Holy Spirit raped Mary or not; In previous chapters you will find that the Angel Gabriel was sent to Mary to tell her of what was being considered because she was a virgin who loved the Lord and she was of the line of David (which is the line Jesus was to be born from.) Her answer was, "Be it even unto me even as the Lord my God has called me." She was in full agreement with the pregnancy and in fact was despised by everyone because she was found to be pregnant and unmarried.She was betrothed to Joseph and he was about to drop her until the Angel Gabriel (again) visited him and told him
' not to worry about Mary, that she was not unfaithful but
that she was carrying the seed of the Lord. If you want to
know the rest of the story, you'll have to read it yourself.

Where do you guys get this? The Holy Spirit cannot and will not enter, influence, teach, protect, etc., unless you let Him. God gave you free will and He respects that, even if you choose to reject Him. He will simply continue calling your name because He loves you and will never give up on you.

God would not allow His Holy Spirit to be with a person who denies God. A person who accepts that Jesus died for their salvation and asks forgiveness from God for their sins is also, at the same time, asking the Holy Spirit to dwell in them, so it would be consensual.

It can't enter you without your consent, so that would never happen.
