Sexual assault is the legal term for rape, and it also encompasses other behaviors beyond forced sexual intercourse. Sexual assault can be any unwanted sexual contact, such as unwanted touching, fondling, or 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.

Forms of Sexual Assault include:

  • Rape
  • Incest
  • Forcible Fondling
  • Lewd and Lascivious acts with a minor
  • Rape of a Spouse
  • Male Rape
