Stuprum

n. [Latin] Roman & civil law. Illegal sexual intercourse with a woman, usu. a virgin or widow, or with a male (pederasty). "The law refers to stuprum and adultery indiscriminately and with rather a misuse of terms. But properly speaking adultery is committed with a married woman, the name being derived from children conceived by another (alter); stuprum, however, is committed against a virgin or a widow; the Greeks call it corruption." Digest of Justinian 48.5.6.1 (Papinian, De Adulteriis 1).
