Rape is defined as the non-consensual sexual penetration of a person's body, committed without their free and voluntary permission.
European Institute for Gender Equality
Key Elements of the Definition
Penetration: This includes vaginal, anal, or oral penetration using a body part (such as a penis or finger) or an object. Even slight penetration meets the standard.
Lack of Consent: Consent must be given freely and voluntarily. Sex without this agreement is considered non-consensual.
Incapacity: A person cannot give legal consent if they are incapacitated by alcohol or drugs, unconscious, or asleep.
Department of Justice (.gov)
Age and Authority: Individuals below the legal age of consent cannot legally agree to sexual activity, which falls under statutory definitions.
