DEFINITION
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving
sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more
persons against another person without that person's
consent.
The act may be carried out by physical force,
coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is
incapable of valid consent, such as one who is
unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of
consent
The definition of rape varies both in different parts of
the world and at different times in history:
Gang rapes involved more alcohol and other drug use, night
attacks and severe sexual assault outcomes and less victim
resistance and fewer weapons than individual rapes.
Another study found that group sexual assaults were more
violent and had greater resistance from the victim than
individual sexual assaults and that victims of group sexual
assaults were more likely to seek crisis and police services,
contemplate suicide, and seek therapy than those involved in
individual assaults.
