This includes conduct considered inappropriate on an individual or societal basis of morality [3], sexual harassment, and/or criminal sexual assault.
However generally [3], from a purely legal standpoint, sexual misconduct is a "lay term" [3] that represents a boundary that has been broken, dictated by a moral set of conduct [1], particularly where the situation is normally non-sexual and therefore unusual for sexual behavior, or where there is some aspect of personal power (like a teacher-student relationship) or authority that makes sexual behavior inappropriate.

The alleged misconduct can be of various degrees, such as exposure of breasts and genitals, assault, aggressive come-ons, pleading, or even mere inattentiveness to nonverbal cues of discomfort [4].
The "definition of sexual misconduct is far from clear," and it is a "lay term, sometimes used in institutional policies or by professional bodies," to deal with cases marked by power imbalance, coercion, and predatory behavior" [5]. More
When is it "rape"?

Although the term statutory rape usually refers to adults engaging in sexual contact with minors under the age of consent, it is a generic term, and very few jurisdictions use it in the language of statutes.
In statutory rape, no overt force or threat is usually present. Statutory rape laws presume coercion because a minor or mentally disabled adult is legally incapable of giving consent to the sexual act.

In many jurisdictions, the "age of consent" is interpreted to mean mental or functional age [1]. As a result, victims can be of any chronological age if their "mental age" makes them unable to consent to a sexual act [1, 2, 3]. More
