Which of the following is NOT one of the four acts listed under Sexual Abuse by an Inmate?

• A. Contact between the penis and the vulva or the penis and the anus
• B. Contact between the mouth and the penis, vulva, or anus
• C. Any other intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks
• D. A casual arm-slap during a confrontation

Answer: (D)

Under PREA, sexual abuse by an inmate is defined by specific types of sexual contact or intrusion. The acts listed involve explicit sexual contact: direct genital contact such as penis to vulva or penis to anus; oral contact with the genitals or anus; and any intentional touching of intimate areas (genitalia, anus, groin, breasts, inner thigh, or buttocks), whether touching directly or through clothing. The scenario described as a casual arm-slap during a confrontation does not involve sexual contact or sexual intent, and it isn’t included in those defined acts. Therefore, it is the option that does not fit the listed acts of sexual abuse by an inmate.
