Rape Acquaintance rape is the most common kind of rape.
Acquaintance rape is less likely to be reported to the authorities than rape by a stranger.
The victim of an acquaintance rape may not recognize it as a crime or define the incident as rape. I first met her through a mutual friend. But I probably would never have had the courage to ask her for a date. Then I ran into her at a party last weekend. I was really surprised when she was so friendly you know, asking a lot of questions about me and being really nice to me.
