Rape
Rape is physically coerced penetrative sex, and according to victimologists, may include all forms of sexual activity between a minor and an adult.
Whilst as inherently damaging as any other form of highly intrusive physical assault, the psychological effects of rape often depend on taboo and post-traumatic intervention.
Law
Rape is generally described as a crime - generally more severe and taboo than other forms of assault. Some forms of rape are particularly hard to define, with secondary statutory age limits and varying degrees of physical intrusion indicated.
