date rape
Acquaintance sexual assault
Date rape is forced or coerced sexual intercourse occurring in a social or romantic context—typically when victim and perpetrator know each other, are on a date, or have some prior relationship.
Distinguished from stranger rape by the existing acquaintance, which often complicates legal proceedings and social perception: She didn't report the date rape because she thought no one would believe her.
