Barry's actions constitute a consensus crime, because they violate a widely shared moral code against non-consensual sexual activity. They are not simply a matter of social divergence or deviation, but a violation of a clear social norm. Conflict crime typically refers to violations of laws that are disputed or contested within a particular society, which does not apply in this case.
