Rape and Other Sexual Related Cases
RELATED CASES
Rape happens to
people of all
genders and
sexualities.
About 92 percent
of victims are
female and eight
percent are male.
RAPE
Rape is when a person intentionally
penetrates another's vagina, anus or mouth
with a penis, without the other person's
consent.
It happens to men and women. If
someone initially agrees to have sex, but
later withdraws their consent and the other
person continues anyway, that person will
have committed rape.

Penetration
Force and resistance
Nonconsent
Absence of spousal relationship
A culpable state of mind (mens rea)

Types of Rapist
• There are two basic types of rapists: rapists unknown to the victim and rapists known to the victim.
• Both types of rapists commit rape because they want to and they can. It is not true that rapists rape to
have sex. Many times rapists have a consenting partner with whom they can have sex.
-Rapists unknown to the victim direct enormous hatred toward women. They want to degrade, humiliate,
and use power over their victims. About 30 percent of rapists fit into this category. For victims, dying is a
major fear during the attack.
-Over 70 percent of rapists know their victims. Their goal is to have power and control over the victim. For
many victims, in their efforts to cope after the rape, the major issue is the violation of trust the rape
represents.
