What the hell is “quasi-rape”? ---

> **[Rape, Imitative Rape, and Quasi-Rape Sex Crime Laws in South Korea](https://seoullawgroup.com/rape-law-korea/#3_Quasi-Rape)** > > Sex crime laws in South Korea is one of the most subdivided areas of law. The laws regarding sexual crimes, were to protect women. > \*A person who has sexual intercourse with another or commits an indecent act on another by taking advantage of the other’s condition of unconsciousness or inability to resist shall be punished in accordance with Article 297, 297-2, or 298. I guess in South Korea, rape is when a person has sex forced against their will, and quasi-rape is when they don’t have the ability to resist or give consent. It has the same penalty as “normal” rape though. ---
