Sexual Abuse

Rape/sexual assault is illegal sexual contact (usually involving force) done upon a person without consent. Rape is also defined as sexual contact inflicted upon a person who is incapable of giving consent, due to either diminished physical or mental capacity.

It is important to realize that one does not have to have physically fought off or said “no” for an act to be regarded as sexual assault. Submission does not equal consent. Sexual coercion and assault within an intimate relationship may take many forms.

Here are some examples:

  • Pressure to engage in sexual activity
  • Pressure to engage in sexual acts with which a person is uncomfortable
  • Guilt tripping partner into sexual activity
  • Attacking sexual areas of the body
  • Physical violence/overpowering with physical force
  • Continued sexual activity after it’s indicated that sexual activity is no longer welcome – even if consent was given initially
  • Sexual intercourse while asleep or incapacitated
  • Implying that a past rape was not rape or that “you liked it”
