How it's used
Originating from police jargon, this term functions as a blunt and informal way to refer to the crime of rape. It carries a heavy, serious tone and is strictly used in casual or criminal-related contexts rather than formal or legal settings. Using it in polite conversation is highly inappropriate as it trivializes a violent crime.
Examples
I heard he's in prison for rape.
He was arrested for rape.

Common phrases
to be convicted of rape
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the common slang 老強, which can sometimes be used in very specific, non-criminal contexts to mean 'forcing someone to do something' in a playful or exaggerated way, though this usage is risky and can easily be misunderstood as the criminal meaning.
