What is the medias definition of rape?
I don't want to be insensitive here, but I'm a bit confused.
When we hear the word rape used in the media, are they talking about intercourse or any sexual assault?
A quick bit of research showed the legal definition of "what constitutes rape" to vary quite a bit depending on local jusrisdiction. The media, however, speaks to a national audience and lately the word "rape" has been in the news a lot. I assume when they use the word they know what it means. What's their definition?
Thanks for listening.
