Rape is the act of forcing sex on a date or acquaintance.
In Michigan, sexual contact without consent is defined as Criminal Sexual Conduct. A sexual assault can disrupt a person s life in many ways. Common feelings include fear, anxiety, rage, depression, and even guilt. Thoughts can be contradictory and confusing. Being raped by someone you initially trusted can be especially devastating because you are left with the feeling that you can t trust your own judgement.
