Sexual assault can be defined as any type of sexual activity that is made without one’s consent and can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism, exhibitionism (flashing), sexual harassment, inappropriate touching, vaginal, anal, or oral penetration, sexual intercourse and rape. Rape is a common form of sexual assault and can be committed in many situations — on a date, by a friend or an acquaintance, or by a stranger.
