What Is a Sexual Battery?

Florida Statute 794.011 defines "sexual battery" as oral, anal or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object; however, sexual battery does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose.

Sexual battery is also commonly called rape or sexual assault. What sexual battery basically means is the type of sexual touching described above upon a person without her consent or upon a child under 12 years of age regardless of the child’s “consent.”
