Rape is defined as sexual penetration of a victim by the defendant.
If the defendant commits rape while armed, causes bodily injury, or is aided by another person, the more serious offense of aggravated rape is charged. The rape of a child under the age of thirteen usually carries the same penalties as aggravated rape. Statutory rape is sex between a defendant at least four years older than the victim and a victim between thirteen and eighteen years of age. Sexual battery is sexual contact by force between a defendant and a victim. If sexual contact is committed with a weapon, causes harm, is aided by another person, or the victim is under 13, the offense becomes aggravated sexual battery.
