Felony Rape Crimes in Oklahoma

Rape and sexual crimes are always serious charges. Anyone facing these charges is almost certainly facing felony charges, and could be required to register as a Sex Offender. It is therefore important to understand the legal definitions of these crimes.

Rape and Sexual Crimes

Rape is generally defined as unwanted or unpermitted sexual intercourse.   For example:

• Sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 16 will result in rape charges, because the person is deemed too young to adequately give consent.
• Sexual intercourse with an unconscious or intoxicated person is also considered rape because the unconscious victim cannot give consent.
• If unwanted sexual intercourse happens through the use of force or threat of violence, it is also considered rape.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault encompasses the myriad of other offenses that includes unwanted touching or harassment of another individual.
