Definition
奸污 is a formal, written verb meaning 'to rape' or 'to sexually violate'. It carries a strong legal and moral condemnation. Unlike the English gloss 'seduce', 奸污 always implies coercion or violence, never consent. You will most often encounter it in news reports, legal documents, or historical accounts.
