So my friend was 13 and this dude was 16 and he told her if she didn't have sex with him he would hurt her. Is that rape?

Question

Answer

Yes. He coerced her into having sex with him by threatening her life. Even if he’d said he want going to hurt her, but maybe say he would hate her or tell people lies about her or never talk to her again or anything else manipulative, it would still be rape because it would still be coercive, meaning someone using persuasion and force to get what they want.

Answer

Yes, sexual coercion is illegal! It’s rape!
