Rape is non-consensual sexual penetration accomplished through force, coercion, fraud, or when the victim is mentally incapacitated, mentally defective, physically helpless, or a vulnerable adult with an intellectual disability. This offense occurs when someone engages in sexual penetration without the other person's consent or when consent is impossible due to the victim's condition. Conviction carries 8 to 30 years in prison and fines up to $25,000.
