A rapist is a person who has forced someone to have sex. The force may be violence, threats, or taking away the other person’s chance to say no. It names the person who did the crime, not the act itself (the act is rape). You will meet it in news, in law, and in serious warnings. It is a hard, formal word; decent speakers do not use it lightly, and they do not throw it at someone they merely dislike. If you need to talk about this, say it . The person who was hurt is not to blame.
性侵者、強姦犯(台灣新聞較常寫「性侵者」;法律與較舊的說法仍見「強姦犯」「強暴犯」)
