    Question: What can a person be charged with if they are accused of date rape?

    Answer: Date rape is often more traumatic to a victim than being raped by a stranger because the victim may have known or trusted the rapist. However, others consider date rape a less serious crime than stranger rape because it is usually committed by a social acquaintance.

    According to Arizona law, there is no difference if the rape occurred in a social setting or by a complete stranger. Rape is Rape and any person committing this crime will be charged with Sexual Assault under Arizona law (ARS 13-1406).

    Girls the best thing to do is hold on to everything you got. You will need it, don't let them get you down, let them build you up. Let them know if he or she was to try again it wouldn't happen. Use what you kow agaist them. Don't let them ruin you. I am 16 will be 17 in may i was sexually abused for 3 years by my moms ex boyfriend i put him in jail at 13 i went agaist my moms wishes.

    Kids, this is something to consider when you're out drinking with friends. When I was 18 I was raped by someone I trusted, a really nice guy who wouldn't hurt a fly normally, but we were drinking and he didn't understand that I was trying to stop him. It was incredibly traumatic and has taken me years to even begin to "get over it". Lots of other women I've met have been in similar situations, or have had drugs slipped into their drinks, so girls be careful and buddy up with a girlfriend when you're drinking. Guys, this is a good reason not to have sex when you're high: you may not be capable
