What is Rape?

What I believe 'rape' is...
Rape is when a sexual encounter happens without ones consent. Usually Penetration that is forced upon the female in most cases. Rape is not only illegal and a sex crime, but a civil crime which you are/will be punished for if 'rape' is committed.

"Rape is forced, unwanted sexual intercourse. Rape, sometimes also called sexual assault, can happen to both men and women of any age. Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses actual force or violence — or the threat of it — to take control over another human being. Some rapists use drugs to take away a person's ability to fight back. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member.
No matter how it happened, rape is frightening and traumatizing. People who have been raped need care, comfort, and a way to heal."
