I thought rape by definition was an unwanted sexual advance.

Rape is "an unwanted sexual advance", but not all unwanted sexual advances are rape.

You have lesser degrees (which might be called something like "sexual battery", or "taking indecent liberties with a minor" or other things depending on the state your in and the particular circumstnaces.

Then you have sexual harrasment. Clinton was formerly accused of sexual harrasment ("walking into a hotel room, dropping your pants and asking the young lady (that you had a state trooper bring to the hotel room) to kiss it"). He was also accused (but not charged, or even had an offical complaint made to any authority) of what could be called "sexual battery" ("pinning a recently widowed volunteer in an office hallway and fondling her").
