Without consent, this is considered sexual assault. Rape is defined as the crime of forcing another person to have sexual intercourse without consent and against the victim's will. Sexual assault is when a person intentionally touches another person in a sexual nature and the other person doesn't give consent. However if the two of you are dating and she lets you or if you know it's Ok then do it :P


What is the statute of limitations in the state of Illinois?

Warrants do not expire in any US state. After a given period of time a warrant will be designated as "cold", meaning that authorities are no longer actively seeking the person. However, if the named person is stopped by police for any reason, the warrant will most likely appear in a background check and the person will be arrested. Most warrants will also be brought to the attention of the DMV, when a license or state ID is applied for or renewed.


Sexual Harassment and Employers?

Sexual harassment can make the best job unbearable. Victims of sexual harassment experience a range of emotions. Oftentimes, they feel trapped and unable to get out of the situation. One definition of sexual harassment is as follows: the bullying, intimidation, or coercion of a sexual nature. The conduct is unwanted and not welcomed by the recipient. Furthermore, sexual harassment can be described as employment discrimination and abuse. Business leaders have to be very firm on communicating absolutely no tolerance for this type of abuse. Sexual harassment has garnered much attention over the past couple of decades, and employers are being penalized for allowing it to occur within their organization. However, educational institutions still tend to cover sexual harassment. It still seems to be a silent epidemic that is not often talked about. Sexual harassment can happen in a variety of ways. First, the perpetrator is usually a person in authority or power. This person has something that they can offer or take away from the victim. Although this is a common form of sexual harassment, other relationships can become hostile also. Laws do not require the victim to be the only one harmed. A person that is affected by the behavior can also cite sexual harassment. The abuse does not have to be adversely affecting the victim to be deemed unlawful. The victim of the abuse can be either male or female. The abuser may not even be aware that their behavior is unlawful. They could be totally unaware, but this does not change the liability for the abuse. Studies show that persons that commit sexual harassment tend to fall into one of two categories. The flagrant sexual assault perpetrator is the type that does not hide their snide comments. They openly make comments that are sexual in nature. The second type is the more passive type. This person does not make comments until the victim is alone. Their whole demeanor changes when the victim is alone. This is a more sinister and covert behavior style of an abuser. In conclusion, employers should take steps to prevent sexual harassment in their business. Churches, schools, and other organizations must also be vigilant about not tolerating the behavior. The sexual harassment can severely affect the emotional and mental state of the victim. Oftentimes, the victim feels compelled to leave the environment. This leads to other problems including financial problems. All organizations should offer a confidential environment that is supportive of victims of sexual harassment. This will encourage more victims to speak out and not allow the abuse to continue.
