Battery, in its broad definition, occurs when one individual intentionally touches another without the victimβs consent in a manner that is harmful or offensive. Consent, as in all sexual crimes, is an essential element to prove in many cases.
Sexual battery is a term describing a sexual crime that involves criminal sexual contact or touching. The difference between sexual battery and rape is that sexual battery does not involve intercourse or other kinds of forced sexual penetration.
