Ta-kun, legally, 'Assault' and 'Sexual Assault' are very unique terms with very different definitions. Best not to muddle them. Especially since it's incredibly easy to meet the requirements for Assault than it is Sexual Assault.

We've all had it, we all know it's a busy time. Perhaps there's not really any need to tell everyone any more. And actually, if it irritates you, you can turn the warning off in your profile.

Do you REALLY want to start an argument about this?
Really?
Seriously?

:roll:
Also from Webster's:
Definition of SEXUAL ASSAULT
: illegal sexual contact that usually involves force upon a person without consent or is inflicted upon a person who is incapable of giving consent (as because of age or physical or mental incapacity) or who places the assailant (as a doctor) in a position of trust or authority
Not that it matters, because it really doesn't. Language doesn't operate strictly on dictionary definitions - there's a little thing called the vernacular to take into account.
