Ans: A forcible rape is one in which the offender uses or threatens to use force to achieve penetration. Another type of rape is drug- or alcohol-facilitated rape, which occurs when a person is raped while under the influence of drugs or alcohol after being deliberately given alcohol, a drug, or other intoxicant without his or her knowledge or consent. A third type of rape is incapacitated rape. This type of rape occurs when a victim cannot consent because of self-induced consumption of alcohol, a drug, or other intoxicant. Incapacitated rape also occurs when a person is unable to consent due to being unconscious or asleep. A statutory rape occurs when a person who is under the proscribed age of consent engages in sex. Because the person is legally unable to give consent to have sex, such activity is illegal.
