What exactly is the definition of adultry? Rape? Is it Fingers? Touching? Kissing? Full Blown intercourse? Where is the line drawn?

Matthew 5

27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. And just to keep things interesting...
31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. Heh. :D

I'm pretty sure that if you commit rape, being accused of being an adulterer would be the least of your worries.

As for the victim, I don't think anyone would consider her an adulteress.
