How do you know if you have been raped?

this is a very difficult topic and i want to commend you for caring about your friend so much. if he did not stop when he heard her say NO, then it is in fact rape. i've been raped 3 times and 1 wasn't violent, but it still holds up in court. and if she felt that this guy had a hold over her, ie you said he would hurt her if she stopped him, then YES it is considered rape. you need to get her to talk to someone. school counselor, lawyer, police officer, ANYONE. this needs to be reported. or he may just do it again, or worse yet, he'll do it to someone else, and then another.

Rape: the act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.

I would say yes it is. Rape does not have to be violent. I would suggest you go see a doctor or someone that would be able to help her. Let her know that she was forced to do something she didnt want to. Im sorry that happened, hope this helps.

If she has not consented having sex then it is a rape!!

Saying no for sex!!

So even if it was not violent, she has been forced to do something she did not want to do!!

This is called a rape

She was scared that's why she has to let go right?

It is a rape dear! AM so sorry but you need to get help!

BV, your friend was certainly violates sexually whether she wants to admit it or not. If you could get her to speak with a counselor at a Women's Health Centre or a Shelter it may be helpful for her to open up about what occurred to her. She could also contact the police and report what happened to them, but I somehow doubt that she is open to this suggestion at this time. Regardless if possible try and remain as supportive and open minded with this friend and hopefully she will come to realize that she was violated and respect you for all your love and support. Best of luck.

I always tell young girls to never let a guy bring you behind closed doors unless you're willing to give it up. None the less; Guys have a hard time taking no for an answer when their testosterone is running high. NO means NO and if she did say that word and he continued against her will.... then this is considered rape! She needs to press charges so that this scum does not take advantage of her once more.

Have her talk to someone, because she was definitely raped and she needs help. She needs to talk to the police and have a rape kit done, and she needs to press charges. This guy needs to pay for raping her.

Hun.

This would be considered rape. you are absolutely right! If she said "no" then that means no! so the face that he did it after she said no and if she didn't do it he would hurt her then it IS rape!!! I don't care if she has been with him before it does not matter i don't care if it did not hurt her it does not matter! IT IS RAPE!!! tell someone!

If you hurt, that's a probability.
