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.

rape means intended intercourse.
sexual harassment or sexual assault refers to inappropriate touching or fondling.
