Sexual Assault

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 a 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
