What is Sexual Assault?Sexual Assault, including rape,
occurs when a person is forced or coerced, physically or verbally,
into any type of sexual activity with another person, whether the
assailant is a friend, acquaintance, or stranger.
Rape, in the State of Ohio, is legally defined as
forced or coerced vaginal, oral, or anal penetration with an object,
penis or other body part. Force and coercion signify a lack of
consent to sexual activity. Rape occurs when consent to engage in
sexual conduct is never given or when consent is obtained through
the following conditions:
- force
- threat of force
- manipulation
- impairment by being forced or tricked to consume
alcohol or other drugs
- unconsciousness
Sexual Assault is an Act of Violence, Not Sex
Sexual assault, including rape, is motivated by a
need for power and control, or by anger. Assailants use sex as a
weapon in order to degrade, humiliate, injure, and control their
victims.
