Police Academy Exit Practice Test

This question tests what behavior counts as sexual contact. The defining idea is that sexual contact includes any touching of a person’s intimate parts for sexual arousal or gratification, or to degrade or humiliate them, and it isn’t limited to acts like intercourse.

The best choice fits this concept by naming the act (touching intimate parts) and the purpose (sexual gratification or degradation), and it also covers situations outside marriage as described. This makes it broader than just intercourse and more focused on the intent and the type of contact.

The other ideas are narrower or incorrect: requiring consent for all acts isn’t how sexual contact is defined—the definition centers on the act and its purpose, not a blanket consent criterion. Limiting it to intercourse is too narrow since many forms of touching can constitute sexual contact. Saying no contact is included is simply false.
