Shoving a metal pipe or any object into a person's rectum without their consent is considered a form of sexual violence and is legally classified as rape. This act involves non-consensual penetration, which is a key element in the legal definition of rape.

Rape is broadly defined as any form of non-consensual sexual penetration, regardless of the nature of the object or body part used. The intent behind the action, the lack of consent, and the physical and psychological harm it causes to the victim are central to why such an act is considered rape. The use of force or coercion to violate someone's body in this manner is a profound violation of their autonomy, dignity, and physical integrity.

This act can cause severe physical injuries, as well as lasting emotional and psychological trauma, making it not only a violent physical assault but also a deeply damaging and dehumanizing act.
