Question

aggravated usually onlymeans there was either a special relationship(parent, uncle) or that a weapon was used.

Answer 2

A person commits the offense of sodomy when he performs or submits to any sexual act involving the s*x organs of one person and the mouth or a**s of another. A person commits the offense of aggravated sodomy when he commits sodomy with force and against the will of the other person.

Probably because it makes the person who was sodomized aggravated.... wouldn't you be?

Answer 4

The term aggravated refers to circumstances that make the offense more serious. eg. when it is rape, when it is with a minor and in some states it is simply an offense against the order or nature.

Aggravated simply means sections of the law that make the basic offence more serious and often carry a higher penalty.
