Brief Insight
A WOMAN OF POOR CHARACTER

If two witnesses testify that a woman requested to do an Isur with them, she does not receive a Knas if she is raped or seduced. Rashi explains that since she is seeking to do an Isur, we assume that she no longer is a Besulah. The Rambam gives a different reason for why she does not receive a Knas. He says that since she is of ill repute, we assume that she willingly gave herself up to her rapist and thus she is regarded as a Kedeshah. The Torah does not obligate a person to pay a Knas when the woman primed herself for it. (Ran)
Quick Halachah
RUMORS THAT SHE WAS MEZANAH

If there are rumors that a woman was Mezanah, it is of no concern [and she may marry a Kohen]. Even if her husband separated from her because she transgressed Da'as Yehudis, or there are witnesses that she engaged in unsavory behavior, if her husband dies before she receives a Get she is permitted to marry a Kohen. (Shulchan Aruch EH 6:16)
