Four out of five of them were attacked by someone they knew. Now Foundation states that 70 percent of all sexual assaults are acquaintance or date rape. Men and women can be friends, and a fundamental part of friendship is trust. When this trust is violated, it can prove to be one of the most damaging things that one friend can do to another. The American College Health Association defines acquaintance rape as when someone you know forces you to have sexual intercourse against your will-whether you are passed out, too drunk to refuse, too scared to argue, or for some other reason do not give consent.
Date rape is more specific.
It is forcing sexual intercourse on a date. In the majority of cases, the victim has known the attacker for at least a year. The incident usually occurs late at night, on the weekend. 80 percent of cases happen in the man's home. Imagine that you are at a male friend's house watching movies.
