The official definition of what constitutes rape can differ widely from state to state. California, for example, is one of a handful of states that will prosecute an assailant for the crime of "rape by fraud," wherein an individual tricks his or her victim into engaging in what the victim believes to be consensual sex; this can be accomplished by a perpetrator breaking into a stranger's form room or home while the victim is sleeping, and cuddling up to the victim as if the perpetrator were a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse.
