Multiple Choice

Penetrating the victim's anus with fingers against the will of the victim constitutes penetration with a foreign object.

Explanation:
Penetration can be satisfied by inserting an object or a body part into an orifice, and the act is judged by whether it involved insertion into the victim’s body, not by the size or type of object. When someone penetrates the victim’s anus with a finger without consent, that insertion is a form of penetration. Because the finger is used as the instrument to violate the orifice, it counts as penetration with a foreign object. The non-consensual nature makes it a prosecutable act under laws covering sexual assault, regardless of whether the object is a separate tool or a part of the offender’s body.
