Can a wife be raped or sexually assaulted by her husband? Is forcing someone to watch a sexually explicit act a sex crime? What about giving someone unwanted advances? Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with the laws concerning sex. Do you know the different types of sex crimes?
Sexual Crimes are any involuntary sexual acts in which a person is threatened, coerced, or forced to engage against their will, or any sexual touching of a person who has not consented. Outside of law, the term rape (“an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with another person without that person’s consent”) is often used interchangeably with sexual assault, a closely related form of assault typically including rape and other forms of non-consensual sexual activity. The absence of consent defines the crime of sexual assault. The added unwanted penetration defines the crime as rape.
Acquaintance Assault – Involuntary, forced, coerced sexual act by someone the victim knows and has some type of relationship with such as family member, school, church, work, social associate.
Ascendant Assault –– Ascendant perpetrator is a person in a position of dominance or controlling influence: in possession of power, superiority, governing or controlling influence such as clergy, teachers, someone in a parental role, bosses, employers, law enforcement personnel, military superiors. Someone who uses their position of authority to coerce, convince or threaten to engage someone in unwanted sexual acts. (Law of Ascendance)
1.Rape – Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, penetration which is initiated by one or more persons against another person’s will without that person’s consent.

Normally an ascendant assault. Incest is a crime! It doesn’t have to include rape but most times does include rape.
The incest continues to be prevalent in our society today. Not only is it taboo, it is a crime that destroys lives and destinies. Though there are laws against incest, it is hard to prove and convict the one committing the crime because of silence. In societies where it is illegal, consensual adult incest is seen by some as a victimless crime.
