A man forced a woman to kiss his genitals by threatening to kill her family members. This crime is

• A. Forcible rape
• B. Indecent Exposure
• C. Sexual Battery
• D. Oral Copulation - Felony

Answer: (D)

This question tests understanding of non-consensual sexual offenses and how forced sexual acts are charged. When someone uses threats or force to compel another person to perform a sexual act on them, the appropriate charge is for that specific act, not for rape as commonly defined in some statutes. Forcing a woman to perform oral sex on the man—oral-genital contact under coercion—fits the offense of forced oral copulation, which is classified as a felony in many jurisdictions. The use of threats to kill family members satisfies the element of force or fear that makes the act non-consensual.

Why the other options don’t fit as the best description: forcible rape typically requires vaginal intercourse, not oral sex, so it doesn’t capture the specific act here. Indecent exposure involves exposing one's own genitals to another or lewd behavior, not forcing someone to perform a sexual act. Sexual battery involves unwanted touching of intimate parts by the offender, rather than the victim performing a sexual act on the offender. Therefore, the conduct is best described as forced oral copulation, a felony.
