Notes: Rape and sexual assault
Rape: Sexual intercourse (oral, anal, vaginal) that is committed against a person’s will or is committed with physical force or a threat to hurt the victim or another person. It is also considered rape if a person is intoxicated or unconscious and is unable to give consent. Rape and sexual assault are not about desire- they are about power and control.
Sexual assault: includes other behaviors beyond forced sexual intercourse. It includes unwanted touching, fondling, groping of sexual body parts. It can be committed by the use of threats or force or when someone takes advantage of circumstances that render a person incapable of giving consent, such as intoxication.
Consent: an agreement that two people make if they want to have sex. Both partners are fully conscious and aware. Both partners are equally free to act. Both partners clearly communicate their willingness and permission. Both partners are positive and sincere in their desires.
