Sexual Assault
Sexual acts that occur by force, threat, surprise, intimidation, or by taking advantage of someone's inability to consent.
The term "sexual assault" is a broad term that includes many acts. Cases of rape also fit the broader definition of sexual assault, but not all sexual assault cases meet the definition of rape.
Sexual assault: Intentionally touching a non-consenting person's intimate body parts, forcing a non-consenting person to touch intimate body parts, or sexual intercourse without consent or by force (rape).
Rape: Sexual intercourse by force or where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of age, temporary incapacity i.e. drunk or intoxicated), or permanent mental/physical incapacity. Forcible sodomy and the non-consensual penetration of another with a foreign object is also rape.
More than four out of five times people are assaulted or raped by someone they know. It could be an acquaintance. It could be a friend. It could be a date. It could be a family member.
Men too experience rape. The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey states: 1 in 71 men have been raped in their lifetime.
