Web. 3 (Criminal assault: a violent physical attack upon a person esp. with sexual contact or attempt at sexual contact: rape)
Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice, viewed June 29, 2023: ("a general theoretical distinction would define rape as any forced or unwanted sexual penetration and sexual assault as any forced or unwanted sexual contact. This makes the phrase "sexual assault" more broad, as it includes anything from forced exposure to pornography to unwanted touching, while "rape" is more specific, encompassing acts that involve any forced penetration of another's body.")
Merriam-Webster, viewed June 29, 2023: rape (1. unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception)
