RAPE
Definition
Rape (law), sexual intercourse against a person’s will. Most experts believe the primary cause of rape is an aggressive desire to dominate the victim rather than an attempt to achieve sexual fulfillment. They consider rape an act of violence rather than principally a sexual encounter.

In the United States, rape is the most serious form of sexual assault punishable
by law, but the definition of what constitutes rape varies from state to state.
In all states, if a man forcibly subjects a woman who is not his wife to sexual
intercourse against her will, he has committed the crime of rape. Recently, an
increasing number of states have extended the definition of rape to include
certain nonconsensual incidents of intercourse—even if force was not
involved—and the rape of one’s spouse. In other states, rape remains narrowly
defined as forcible sexual intercourse, but separate statutes address other
forms of sexual assault, including nonconsensual (but unforced) sexual
intercourse and unwanted sexual activity other than intercourse.
Many other countries also provide legal redress for women who are raped.
However, some countries expect that women will be protected by sexual taboos
(social prohibitions) rather than by criminal law. National military codes and
international agreements such as the Geneva Convention (1949) prohibit rape by
soldiers during times of war or civil conflict. However, in some instances
military leaders have actually tolerated and even encouraged rape, either as a
“reward” for soldiers or as part of a campaign of terror. Recently, human rights
organizations have sought to protect women around the world from sexual violence
and to hold those who victimize women, even during wartime, accountable.
As attitudes about sexuality and gender equality continue to change, lawmakers
and legal reformers struggle to redefine what behaviors constitute rape. Some
argue that rape should be defined as any nonconsensual sexual intercourse,
without any special requirement to prove use of force. This proposal has been
highly controversial. However, as a result of changing societal perceptions,
laws now prohibit several different types of rape.
A
Forcible Rape
Sexual intercourse carried out against a person’s will by the use or threat of
physical force is sometimes referred to as forcible rape. Historically, a person
could only be charged with rape if force was used to subdue the victim. Most
states retain use of force as part of their definition of rape or, at the least,
of the most serious form of rape. However, some states have modified this
traditional requirement. For example, in 1992 a New Jersey court found that the
requirement of force was satisfied by the act of sexual penetration itself,
without any additional force or threat of force.
In Canada, the federal Criminal Code prohibits various types of sexual assault.
Sexual assaults with a weapon or that cause bodily harm to the victim are
punished more severely. An aggravated sexual assault is the most serious form of
rape in Canada. A person commits aggravated sexual assault if he or she wounds,
maims, disfigures, or endangers the life of another person while sexually
assaulting that person.
The Canadian code does not explicitly define sexual assault in terms of the
types of sexual activity prohibited. However, for the purpose of determining
whether a sexual assault has occurred, the statute defines consent as the
“voluntary agreement of the complainant to engage in the sexual activity in
question.” If the complainant is incapable of consenting to the activity or if
the complainant expresses, by words or conduct, a lack of agreement to engage in
the activity, a defendant may not successfully defend against charges of sexual
assault on the grounds that the complainant consented.
B
Acquaintance Rape
When a person rapes a person he or she knows, it is called either acquaintance
rape or date rape. The two people may be friends, former lovers, or presently
dating. Studies indicate that a woman is more likely to be raped by an
acquaintance than by a stranger or a relative.
An acquaintance may commit forcible rape. However, the term acquaintance rape is
usually applied when the sexual intercourse is nonconsensual but does not
involve the physical coercion typically associated with forcible rape, such as
assault or threats of violence.
The issue of consent in circumstances of date rape has stirred considerable
controversy. Determining whether an incident of sexual intercourse was
consensual can be very difficult. A man charged with rape and a woman alleging
that she has been raped might have very different perspectives about what
happened, even if they are both sincerely trying to give a truthful account.
Lawmakers and courts have struggled with the issue of whether to define consent
from the victim’s point of view. To do so creates the risk of punishing a person
(the accused rapist) who mistakenly thought another person was consenting to
sexual relations.
As awareness of acquaintance rape has grown, the subject has become a frequent
topic of discussion and political protest. Rape education advocates conduct
seminars on communication differences between men and women regarding consent to
sex. Some colleges have developed codes of conduct instructing young men to ask
permission and await an answer before pursuing sexual intercourse.
C Marital
Rape
Rape of a person’s spouse is called marital rape or spousal rape. The English
common law and traditional U.S. and Canadian law did not recognize rape within a
marriage as a crime. As recently as the 1960s the American Law Institute
recommended retaining the historical legal doctrine that a man cannot rape his
wife. The organization based this recommendation on the theory that it was
inappropriate for the law to invade marital privacy. However, as a result of
changing attitudes about domestic violence, many states abandoned this doctrine
and began to allow prosecutions for marital rape, especially if it is committed
by force. In Canada, spouses may be convicted of criminal sexual assault.
D
Statutory Rape
Sexual intercourse with a person who has not reached the age of consent is known
as statutory rape. The age of consent for sexual intercourse varies depending on
state law, but is no higher than 18 in any state. Under most state laws, the
younger the victim is, the greater the punishment. Statutory rape laws
traditionally treated men or boys as the prospective offenders and young women
or girls as prospective victims. However, some jurisdictions have enacted
gender-neutral statutory rape laws. States also typically treat sexual
intercourse as rape if the victim is considered incapable of giving consent for
a reason other than age. For example, if a person has sexual intercourse with
someone who is drugged or asleep, or who is mentally retarded, that person may
be found guilty of rape.
In Canada, traditional statutory rape laws have been replaced with specific laws
against a variety of sexual offenses concerning children. For example, the
Criminal Code provides that any person who, for sexual purposes, touches any
part of the body of a person under the age of 14 is guilty of the offense of
sexual interference. The charge cannot be defended by claiming consent by the
minor or mistake concerning the age of the victim. However, if the accused
person is between the ages of 12 and 16 and the victim is less than two years
younger than the accused and consented to the activity, it is not considered a
crime.
E Rape of
Men
Traditional rape laws were gender specific, providing that only women could be
victims of rape and only men could be rapists. In recent years an increasing
number of states have rewritten their rape laws to be gender neutral. In these
states it is possible, although unlikely, for a woman to be charged with raping
a man. In Canada, statutes prohibiting sexual assault apply to both male and
female perpetrators and victims.
Homosexual rape, when it is not covered by a state’s general rape statute, may
be covered by statutes that prohibit anal or oral sex between members of the
same sex, a type of sodomy. Although some statutes do not distinguish between
forcible and consensual acts, forcible sodomy is generally subject to more
severe punishments. Homosexual rape is a notorious problem in prisons. However,
in society as a whole, rape of men—whether by women or other men—is not a highly
visible issue.
Counseling a Rape Victim Many cities have free support services for victims of
rape. Rape support workers typically provide psychological counseling and assist
victims with medical and legal issues.
Women who are raped suffer a sense of violation that goes beyond physical
injury. They may become distrustful of men and experience feelings of shame,
humiliation, and loss of privacy. Victims who suffer rape trauma syndrome
experience physical symptoms such as headaches, sleep disturbances, and fatigue.
They may also develop psychological disturbances related to the circumstances of
the rape, such as intense fears. Fear of being raped has social as well as
personal consequences. For example, it may prevent women from socializing or
traveling as they wish.
As attitudes about rape have changed, society’s response to rape has also
altered. For example, many law enforcement agencies have instituted practices
that show greater sensitivity to rape victims. Some cities have formed special
units of trained policewomen and counselors. Use of such specialists can help
make it less difficult for a rape victim to report an attack. In addition, rape
crisis hot lines and clinics have been established to help victims negotiate the
legal system and overcome the aftereffects of being victimized.

10) God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Rape is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable. Yet few people know that the Bible often condones and even approves of rape. How anyone can get their moral guidance from a book that allows rape escapes me. Perhaps they have been lied to about the Bible and carefully detoured around all the nasty stuff in the Bible.
So grab your Bibles and follow along as I show you all the nasty rapes that your priests and preachers don't want to tell you about. Note that in many places in the Bible there are references to "taking a wife". Don't be fooled into thinking that these were voluntary marriages. This first quote clearly shows that murder and force were used to "take" these wives.
1) Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin." Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God's curse."
Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'" So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.
Obviously these women were repeatedly raped. These sick bastards killed and raped an entire town and then wanted more virgins, so they hid beside the road to kidnap and rape some more. How can anyone see this as anything but evil?
2) Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)
They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder. They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived. After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp. But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded. "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.
Clearly Moses and God approves of rape of virgins.
3) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.
What kind of God approves of murder, rape, and slavery?
4) Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God.
5) Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
It is clear that God doesn't give a damn about the rape victim. He is only concerned about the violation of another mans "property".
Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'
Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die. But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die." [The child dies seven days later.]
This has got to be one of the sickest quotes of the Bible. God himself brings the completely innocent rape victims to the rapist. What kind of pathetic loser would do something so evil? And then he kills a child! This is sick, really sick!
7) Rape of Female Captives (Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)
"When you go out to war against
your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you
take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so
enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your
house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her
nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and
mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her
husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking
for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not
sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion."
Once again God approves of forcible rape.
8) Rape and the Spoils of War (Judges 5:30 NAB)
They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate shawl or two for me in the spoil. (Judges 5:30 NAB)
9) Sex Slaves (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
10) God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)

KJV Genesis 34:
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
KJV Hebrews 13: 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
• MATTHEW 5:28-32
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
KJV Romans 1: 24-32
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and
receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
KJV Leviticus 18:21-24
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither
shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations
are defiled which I cast out before you:
KJV Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
(Unlike in today's society, sex outside marriage was punishable by stoning to death. they gave a new meaning to stone cold. But the argument of today's people is that we know better.)
The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out
about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the
time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling
on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing
that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little
Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a
small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the teacher
couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report, so she asked him
just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnnie. "Well I can see that,"
she said, "But what is so exciting about a period." "Damned if I know," said
Johnnie, "But this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a
heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself."

A boy and his date were parked on a back road some distance from town, doing what boys and girls do on back roads some distance from town, when the girl stopped the boy.
“I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I’m actually a hooker and I charge $20 for sex.” The boy reluctantly paid her, and they did their thing.
After a cigarette, the boy just sat in the driver’s seat looking out the window. “Why aren’t we going anywhere?” asked the girl.
“Well, I should have mentioned this before, but I’m actually a taxi driver, and the fare back to town is $25.”
