Definition of rapuit

Definition: The term "rapuit" comes from Latin and means "ravished." It was previously used in indictments for rape.

Examples:

  • He was charged with rapuit after forcibly seizing and carrying off a woman.
  • The term "rapuit" is now considered inappropriate for modern usage due to its romantic connotations of ecstasy and delight.
  • In the Restatement (First) of Torts § 65a, "rapuit" was defined as including any carnal intercourse of a criminal nature.

These examples illustrate how "rapuit" was used in the past to describe the forcible seizure and carrying off of another person, particularly a woman. It was also used to refer to any criminal sexual intercourse. However, the term is no longer used today due to its inappropriate connotations.
