Rape:
Rape is forced sexual intercourse of any kind including vaginal, anal or oral; heterosexual or homosexual; penetration with foreign objects. If you have not consented to the sexual activity, it is rape. A rapist may be a stranger, but statistically, they are more likely to be someone you know including a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse. In some states, if you are legally intoxicated (your blood alcohol level is above a certain level) or your judgment is impaired by drugs, and you have intercourse it can be considered rape.

Sexual Assault:
Completed or attempted attacks generally involving unwanted sexual contact between the victim and offender. Sexual assaults may or may not involve force and include such things as grabbing or fondling. Sexual assault also includes verbal threats.
