I think you can be raped without being penetrated (or as in the above case: have penetrated)
Rape is the superlative of sexual harrassment. And the line doesn't lie at penetration, it lies before that. Remember rape is not just about the body, it is also about the mind.
Note: i'm not sure of the word "superlative". I meant it as "an extreme form" or "worse than".

Sexual harrassment is NOT rape, it's not even fuckin close. There is a WORLD of difference between, "hey honey, i wanna slip my tubesteak in you" and actually forcing an act on someone.
Rape is a PHYSICAL act, not pychological. YES, rape can be <b>as little as</b> touching when it's not wanted, and need not involve penetration or even the involvement of any genitals, although if the person doesn't touch any "sensitive" areas, it's usually (legally speaking) assault (harrassment) and battery (any unwanted physical contact).
