47 Things, Including '20 Minutes Of Action,' That Are Still Considered Rape

Brock Turner, the Stanford University rapist who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman and will only go to jail for six months (and will likely get out in three), has one confused father.

Before Brock's sentencing, Dan Turner spoke for his son in court. In his statement, which you can read here, Dan lamented about such things like the loss of Brock's "happy go lucky" personality and the fact that he doesn't eat steak anymore. Perhaps the most harrowing part of this speech, though, is how Dan Turner tried to minimize the rape his son committed by calling it "20 minutes of action."

But let me clear something up for you, Dan: "20 minutes of action" is still rape.

The FBI defines rape as (trigger warning for this definition) "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." But rape is not always a violent act where a stranger blindfolds you and holds a knife to your throat. Rape can happen under many different conditions, in many different ways, disguised as many different things. This includes "20 minutes of action."

Here are 47 circumstances where it would still be considered rape, even if these things seem like a form of consent. (Note: For most of these scenarios, I'm going to imply that the victim was a woman, but rape also happens to men.)
