Date Rape




The term, "date rape" (or '''"acquaintance rape"''') refers to Rape or non-consensual sexual activity between people who are already acquainted, or who know each other socially — friends, acquaintances, people on a date, or even people in an existing romantic relationship — where it is alleged that consent for sexual activity was not given, or was given under duress. In most jurisdictions, there is no legal distinction between rape committed by a stranger, or by an acquaintance, friend or lover. In some cases, drugs may be used to neutralise resistance.
