Sexual assault is any type of forced or coerced sexual contact or behavior that happens without consent. Consent is a clear "yes" to sexual activity. You know and understand what is going on and what you want to do, and you're sober. It's OK to consent and change your mind, even after sexual activity has started. Sexual assault can include: Rape, which the Department of Justice defines as "the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." Rape may be defined slightly differently in your community. However, this is the legal definition that the federal government uses to collect information from local police about rape. Attempted rape.
