is still rape.

TYPES OF RAPE
 STATUTORY RAPE

• occurs when someone has sexual intercourse with a

person who has not yet reached the age of consent
(determined by state law), whether or not the sexual
act was against that person’s will.
 DATE RAPE
• The term "date rape" is used to refer to several types of rape,
broadly acquaintance rape, which is a non-domestic rape committed
by someone who knows the victim.
• Acquaintance rape can occur between two people who know one
another usually in social situations, between people who are dating as
a couple and have had consensual sex in the past, between two
people who are starting to date, between people who are just
friends, and between acquaintances.
 GANG RAPE
• Gang rape occurs when a group of people participate in the
rape of a single victim. Rape involving at least two or more
violators (usually at least three).
• Gang rapes involved more alcohol and other drug use, night
attacks and severe sexual assault outcomes and less victim
resistance and fewer weapons than individual rapes.
 SPOUSAL RAPE
• Also known as marital rape, wife rape, husband rape,
partner rape or intimate partner sexual assault (IPSA), is
rape between a married or de facto couple. Research
reveals that victims of marital/partner rape suffer longer
lasting trauma than victims of stranger rape.
 RAPE OF CHILDREN
• Rape of a child is a form of child sexual abuse. When
committed by another child (usually older or stronger) or
adolescent, it is called child-on-child sexual abuse. When
committed by a parent or other close relatives such as
grandparents, aunts and uncles, it is also incest and can
result in serious and long-term psychological trauma.
 PRISON RAPE

•Prison rape or jail rape is rape occurring in

prison. The phrase has come into common usage
to refer to rape of inmates by other inmates, and
less commonly to the rape of inmates by staff,
and even less commonly rape of staff by inmates.
