I'm really sorry to hear that. I think it depends on what context you are trying to define rape. Depending on where you are, legally, rape may be defined as penetration of the mouth, anus or vagina with a penis. However, a lot of definitions online offer another explanation of 'digital rape' which is penetration involving objects or other body parts. Whether it was rape or not, it was definitely a serious sexual assault.

I'm really glad that this guy is now out of your life. You could report it, if you wanted to, but that's entirely your decision. You might also find it helpful to talk to a counsellor about what you experienced, as they offer a safe place to explore your feelings, given what you have been through.
