Q2 LOW
Being drunk at a party (or similar situation in which the individual is compromised) and not being listened to when you say no. Also, it makes me imagine a situation where one individual may feel that the other owes them sex based on them 'leading them on'. I think this usually happens between friends or colleagues.
Acquaintance rape is when you know the person, such as a partner, a friend etc. They might emotionally lead you into having sex with them by putting pressure on you, or you could both be drunk etc but rape is still rape no matter the circumstances and whether you know the person or not.
I would think that this means someone that you know would start showing an interest in you, a friend perhaps, and they would start making suggestions that you should get together some time. You would see them as a friend and perhaps after a little drink he'd think he was well within his rights to make advances towards you and think that it's just fun to do something stupid and just have casual sex with you- with no consent. Even when you're telling him no, he carries on. Afterwards you feel extremely awkward and like you can't tell anyone because he was a friend, he acts as if it never happens. It's like a huge shameful secret you have to keep to yourself and it eats away inside of you, giving you huge trust issues.
I assume this means rape by someone the person knows? I imagine two people drunk at somewhere like a party talking and being in a room together and the male ending up forcing the girl to have sex with him when she doesn't want to. I imagine her either being far too drunk to give consent or being forced too by a drunk boy. Following the rape I imagine neither of them telling eachother but instead avoiding eachother.
A male friend raping his female friend. I would imagine the age group for both to be 18-24 and to be more likely at university or a festival. I would either say the male misread signals from the female and got attached or even obsessed with her then while under the influence of drugs or alcohol he took advantage of her while she was unable to defend herself. I would imagine this rapist to be an opportunist too, as I would say they wait for their victim to be drunk or high - as their story wouldn't be credible and they may not be believed because they weren't sober. The victim may not wish to report the rape because of this reason, and they may not wish to cause tension and a divide in the friendship group. They may also fear of getting a reputation as a slut or a liar. I would say the rapist would say that the victim had wanted the sex and 2d to it, then cried rape when it was over and the drugs or alcohol had worn off because they regretted it.
I assume that acquaintance rape is when the victim already knew the person who forced them to engage in sexual intercourse against their will. For example, the victim knew the attacker from prior experiences and probably trusted them to some extent.
When someone knows someone before the event but not very well so they are not friends etc. But aware of each other as a person. The man enters his penis into the womanâ€™s vagina against her will. She may be drunk at a party and he has sex with her without getting consent or he may attack her at a similar situation or walking home etc.
This is where the perpetrator of the rape in known to the victim prior to the event. This could be a colleague, friend, family member etc. The event is the same as an 'ordinary' rape but just committed by a known individual to the victim
The term "typical acquaintance rape" would mean being raped by somebody that you know or have known in the past. For example a woman being raped by her husband. Or a man being raped by a friend. Rape can happen to both men and women. For example a young man could be raped by an older woman or a teacher.
The offender is known by the victim. The offender may have previously had sex with this person and assumed that this was consent to any/all times they initiated sex. The offender may assume that it isn't rape because they know the person. The victim may feel as though they cannot report the crime as they could have some type of 'relationship' with the offender.
