In plain terms, sexual battery is the unlawful touching, contact, or union with another persons sexual organs. So think of sexual battery in the common term of what we think of as rape; you forcefully placed yourself on someone.
But in the more uncommon term, sexual battery can be the person could not consent. They were intoxicated to the point that they didn’t know. The person could be under a certain age. A person under the age of 16, typically, in the state of Florida cannot consent to a person over the person over the age of 18. The person under the age of 12, it would be sexual battery, but capital sexual battery because of their age. The person could be incapacitated because of mental decline and that person was touched or was penetrated in some way, inconsistent with their wishes. That would be a sexual battery.
So generally speaking, sexual battery could be a variety of different crimes, but in basic terms it’s the unlawful contact union, with someone’s sexual organs against their will.
