It is also known that estranged or ex-spouses sometimes use rape as a form of retaliation. No other crime victim is looked upon with the degree of suspicion and doubt as a victim of rape. Although there are numerous reasons why society has cast blame on the victims of rape, a major reason found in studies is that of a feeling of self protection. But, the basic fact remains that without consent, no means no, no matter what the situation or circumstances. Rape is just unwanted sex and isn't really a violent crime.
Rape is a lot more than an unwanted sex act, it is a violent crime.
Many rapists carry a weapon and threaten the victim with violence or death. Rape only occurs outside and at night. Rape can and does occur anytime and anyplace. Many rapes occur during the day and in the victims' homes. Sexual assault is an impulsive, spontaneous act.
