RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT
What is rape?
Rape is a very serious crime that is included in the same classification as murder and robbery. Though the exact definition of rape varies from state to state, it is generally defined as forced vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. In Pennsylvania, first degree felony rape counts also include any genital or anal penetration with a foreign object.| What is the difference between rape and sexual assault? Sexual assault has a more broad definition that includes any unwelcome sexual contact, either direct or through clothing, which is committed by threat, force, or without the consent of the other person.
