Sexual assault has replaced the term rape in some states. Sexual assault is further classified as aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault. Aggravated sexual assault requires sexual penetration of the victim under specifically defined circumstances. Sexual assault also requires sexual penetration but the circumstances surrounding the crime involve less culpable behavior than an aggravated sexual assault. Aggravated sexual assault is a crime of the first degree or felony.
Sexual assault is a crime of the second degree or felony.
Criminal sexual contact is an intentional touching of the intimate parts of the victim under specifically defined circumstances. Under the Model Penal Code, criminal sexual contact is a crime of the third or fourth degree, depending on the circumstances. Robbery is the unlawful taking of property in the immediate possession of another person, by force or threat of force. Holding up a convenience store clerk with a gun is a robbery, as is shoving a person to the ground and snatching money out of their hand as they are receiving it from an ATM machine. Larceny , or theft, is taking property belonging to another person without force or deceit.
