For its Uniform Crime Reports, the FBI defines rape as:
"Please note that this definition is rather graphic, which is inevitable when describing crimes this violent.
Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
Sexual assault victims may be forced through threats or physical means. In about 8 out of 10 sexual assaults, no weapon is used other than physical force. Anyone may be a victim of sexual assault: women, men or children, straight or gay."

Not sure why you defined incest and statutory rape. Neither pertain to this case.
The UCR is how the FBI collects data and performs statistical analysis. That's more than sufficient to put this discussion to rest - I hope
ETA: the FBI definition (albeit graphic) is how the UCR is compiled. It is the foundation for local crime stats and how CJ & MH professionals conduct meta-analysis.
Frankly, as a two-time survivor (once as a minor and once as an adult), I'm not sure how constructive this continued discussion is to the thread. I don't need to see this argued out, when I've lived through it twice. I know what it is - and what it is NOT. truce:
:moo:
I would be SO sad not to have this forum to continue to discuss and process everything that has happened today (and honestly since Day One) to Jenise. WS means a lot to me, and a closed thread would be awful...
