Answer 2

That will vary greatly by state. For example, in North Carolina where I live, a man cannot be raped. Rape is defined in statute as penile penetration of a vagina. Therefore, unless the man has a vagina, he cannot be raped. If a man is sexually assaulted, the charge is just that-- sexual assault. Most states have statutory search engines. If you are interested in a particular state, I would search for their specific statutes to ascertain the differences.
