So...you're wrong. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-...ition-rape
Actually you are confusing a press release that defines the criminal act (rape law) with the broad scope defination (or legal defination of the word) I provided a link and only ever repersented the legal defination of the word. The legal defination start by identifying rape as an unlawful criminal act. Your link define specifically what constitutes the criminal act of rape.. My link defines what constitutes a criminal act.

(From us legal definitions .com)
Criminal act is an act committed by a person that violates a law and which is punishable by the government. Criminal acts are offenses against the public which are punishable. It can be any act or omission or possession which poses a threat to the public.
IF rape is not considered a 'criminal act' then again effectively there is no difference between that and consensual sex legally speaking.
This is all I'm saying as a motivator for victims to report sooner rather than later.
You're now defining a completely different word. >.>
