SEX CRIME · SEX OFFENSE

Forcible sexual offenses include crimes like rape where sex is forced upon an individual by physical harm, or threat of physical harm.  Forcible sex offenses are any sexual offense where the victim has sex forced upon them, they are unwilling participants of the act.  Non-forcible sexual offenses are sex crimes that are defined by the inability of the victim of the sexual contact to consent to the sex act.  For example, rape by means of drugging an individual is considered a non-forcible sexual offense.  Although the individual is not threatened, nor are they harmed physically or threatened to be harmed physically, they are also incapable of consenting to sex due to intoxication.  Additionally, a minor is not considered capable of consenting to a sex act, and thus sex with a minor is considered a sexual offense.  This sexual offense is known as statutory rape, and is punishable by prison time, and/or probation depending on the severity of the crime.
