Answer:
Gross sexual imposition involves touching someone’s erogenous zones or forcing them to touch your erogenous zones in a way that is offensive to them. This can occur when the person is substantially impaired or unaware of the contact.
Rape is defined as using force or the threat of force to engage in vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse. This includes using body parts or objects other than the body. Rape also includes situations where a person’s judgment or control is significantly impaired by a controlled substance, followed by the act of intercourse.
