Rape
Here
According to wikipedia - Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without that person's consent. The term rape has its origination from the latin word "repere" meaning "To snatch, grab, carry off" rape assaults have been too common in our world today, that it can no longer be overlooked. According to a large number of people interviewed on the causes of rape, some say rape can be caused by some factors including: Excessive porn viewing, indecent dressing, cultism, peer pressure, drug abuse, etcetera. even though all these seem to be correct, I still think rape cases will be on the decline if we have more individuals with moral values and self control
