Which offense involves penetrating the vagina, anus, or mouth with an inanimate object by forcible compulsion with the intent to sexually torture or sexually abuse, including situations where the victim is incapable of consent or under 12 when the actor is over 16?

• A. Sodomy (2nd Degree)
• B. Indecent Exposure
• C. Sexual Abuse (1st Degree)
• D. Sexual Torture

Answer: (D)

The key idea is a specific crime that targets forcing someone to be penetrated by an inanimate object with the purpose of sexually torturing or sexually abusing them, and it covers situations where the victim cannot consent or is a child under 12 if the actor is over 16. The element of forcible compulsion plus the object used and the torturous intent makes this offense distinct from other sexual offenses.

Sodomy typically concerns sexual acts with a person, not penetration by an object for torture. Indecent exposure involves exposing oneself rather than a penetrative act with an instrument. Sexual abuse (first degree) covers nonconsensual sexual contact or abuse in some contexts but does not specifically describe penetrating with an object for torture/abuse. Therefore, the described scenario best fits the offense of Sexual Torture.
