A form of sexual assault, involving illegal sexual intercourse with a person against that person’s will/consent. Typically involves sexual penetration without consent including sexual penetration obtained by force, threat or incapacitation, or sexual penetration of someone who is unable to give consent, such as a younger child or incompetent person (National Centre on Sexual Behaviour of Youth, 2003). However, the most commonly used definition of rape is the imposition of sexual assault on someone against his will, through the use of violence, force, threat to harm or other forms of coercion, or in the case of the victim's incapacity to refuse if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When an effort is placed to rape someone without penetration, this is called an attempted rape. Rape is a judicial definition that differs according to the laws in different countries.
