What's the differance between rape and molestation?

yeah sorta

If a adult was touch in a forceful and unwanted way. then it probably will still be call rape

if a child was then it probably would be molestation

Molestation: the act of subjecting someone to unwanted or improper sexual advances or activity (especially women or children)

Molest - The act of making unwanted and indecent advances to someone, especially for sexual gratification.

Rape: Rape is forced sexual contact.

Rape, also referred to as sexual assault, is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with or without sexual penetration of another person without that person’s consent.

Hope this helped!

Molestation doesn’t really have anything to do with children as far as the definition of the word is concerned. Yes, it is often used in conjunction with stories about abused children, but that’s a definition by association only.

Molestation means to make any annoying or unwanted sexual advances toward someone, adult or children, up to and including forcing sexual contact on them.

Rape refers to a forced act of sexual intercourse and applies, again, to both children and adults. If a child is raped, you won’t find many people who would call it being ‘’molested.’’

So molestation is for children and rape is for adults? So you couldn’t say a adult was molested? Or a child was raped? :S

Molestation useually refers to children.

I always understood rape to be the sexual act and molestation touch and feel (both inappropriate of course)
