Rape is when anyone is forced to have sex.
Rape includes unwanted sex with a husband or lover.
A person does not have to get beat-up to be raped. A person can be raped if he or she is drunk or has had sex before. Sexual assault is other sexual activity that may be forced on a person. It is against the law to force a person into any sexual activity that they do not want. If something has happened to you that you feel uncomfortable about, or that you think may be illegal, you may want to talk to a friend or call a crisis line.
