Horus himself states he doesn't see it as rape after getting an earful from Nikopol, and when further pressed on it points out that he's AboveGoodAndEvil.

* PossessionBurnout: Horus runs into this problem, as he can only successfully possess pure humans unaltered by genetic modification. As most of the humans in 2095 New York are augmented in some way, they eventually die after he takes over their bodies. Nikopol is suitable as a host body precisely because he's still unaltered, having spent time in a cryo-prison for several decades.
