"Sexual abuse" covers a much wider range of conduct than "rape" does; all rape is sexual abuse, but not all sexual abuse is rape. Be sure to use the term you actually mean.

If I want to say that she was sexually touched, then she was molested. Is that correct? or please tell me better options. Thank you.

Hi,
That sounds correct to me, although much depends on her age, because i think the word 'molestation' is usually used in reference to children.
Have a look here. http://en.wikipedia.o
