Tess is in a relationship with someone her own age. Her partner pressured her into having sex. She said she didn’t want to have intercourse but was told that she would be dumped and embarrassed if she didn’t give in. Which term best describes this situation?

The answer is C. Sexual Coercion. Tess was not physically forced to have sex which means she wasn't abused or harassed. Also, in the situation there are no signs of stalking present which means that A is not the answer. Sexual coercion is when someone is threatened, tricked, or pressured into having intercourse. Tess was pressured in the situation as she did not want to embarrassed. Hope this helped :))
