Statutory Rape By Instrumentation
Rape is non-consensual sex and is divided into different degrees. Rape by instrumentation occurs when a person is penetrated by any part of another person’s body or any other object or instrument. There does not need to be a specific measure of penetration, even the smallest penetration is sufficient.
