| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Rape |
 | | Rape is an act of violence expressed through sex, but is not primarily about sex. | | | Most state laws require that the victim be evaluated in the emergency room prior to the rape being officially reported. | | | This has allowed those sites to provide more specialized care for the unique needs of the rape victim and assure proper procedures are followed to maintain the "chain of evidence" necessary for a case that may go to trial. |

| | The rate of conviction for the small percentage of rape cases brought to trial is shockingly low. | | | Despite the laws, however, defense lawyers managed to bring up details of the victim's life that they thought the jurors might find unsavory. | | | Although most states have enacted laws to protect a rape victim from being questioned in court about her lifestyle or sexual history - called "rape shield laws" - victims still are being tried in court along with those accused of raping them, says Barbara Reskin, a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois. |

| | While the circumstances in this instance differed from the Tyson and Smith cases, the legal definition of consent was again the central issue of the trial. | | | The sexual assault which took place at the Tailhook Association of Navy Pilots annual convention in 1991 was well documented. | | | Although the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Clarence Thomas were obviously not a rape trial, the focal point of sexual harassment during the hearings expanded national consciousness regarding the demarcations of sexual transgression. |
