In the verdict, deputy president of the Jerusalem district court Tzvi Segal, along with fellow judges Moshe Drori and Yoram Noam, wrote that although this wasn’t “a classical rape by force,” and the sex was consensual, the consent itself was obtained through deception and under false pretenses. Yes that's what he was convicted of. That doesn't mean there was no actual rape. The original accusation was that there was rape by force, and this lesser charge was agreed to. The judge is describing what the defendant was convicted of. Whether there was a real rape, this lesser issue, or nothing at all except a false accusation isn't shown by such an agreement. If the alleged victim directly made a statement that there was no rape and no force, than that would mean a bit more. Or if other forms of evidence came to light (but they probably aren't very likely to, unless perhaps she admitted to someone else that the charges where false and that person testified).
