Document Summary
The common law view of rape is the unlawful sexual intercourse commited by a man with a woman who is not his wife through force and against her will . First, the vicim status is restricted to females, and only males can be ofenders. Second, the only act controlled under this approach is penile penetraion. Third husbands enjoy an automaic exempion from ofender status. Fourth, an important element or ingredient is that the vicim did not submit voluntarily to the act. Many states have replaced the term rape with such phrases as sexual batery, deviant sexual conduct, and sexual assault. The fbi coninues to track both the older deiniion of rape and the newer features associated with sexual batery over the next several years: the bi is adoping a less restricive deiniion of this ofense. The purose behind this change is to incorporate the more inclusive features of sexual batery.
