Mind reading isn't real however, in most media in which mind reading is possible, it is mentioned how reading one's thoughts without consent is considered very rude. I liked the explanation given in Harry Potter though; that the mind is not as a book to be open and perused as one pleases but rather, a complex system of information which even the user isn't completely aware of. In a way, the mind can be seen as the ultimate place one can attempt to peer into however, that's all you would be doing. You would be looking at the memories and thoughts of someone and unable to say, make them see as you do, make them forget something or, make them suddenly forget how to make their heart beat. Physical rape causes physical damage and is an actual crime which can be committed in any universe by any person. Most of the time, when one is able to 'read a mind' there is almost always another person with whom the first can 'meld' with. The Mind Meld is described as being the most intense form of joining two people can engage in. I dunno, I guess it depends on which universes rules you go by. Martian Manhunter could hear your thoughts but, Voldemort can make you forget how to breath.
