that isn't sexual assault. so no, it shouldn't be considered sexual assault. jesus christ.

She did something to his genitals without his consent. Sounds like sexual assault or abuse to me.

I think it would be considered just plain assault and battery before being considered sexual assault.

It's not sexual assault. Sexual assault needs to be sexual in nature. If some dude punched me in the boob it wouldn't be sexual assault, just assault.

Yeah I'm starting to see the difference.

I think there's an interesting argument to be made for this. The woman knew that doing damage to his balls was going to inflict maximum damage. She would probably have no equivalent if she was trying to harm a woman.

I think the difference is that sexual assaults are sexually motivated, like for pleasure / what not, and from what OP has said, I don't think there's any reason to believe that's the case here. But I would probably agree that this is something more than battery.

Yeah I guess. The problem I have is that intent is so hard to prove. How do we know she didn't get off on it? If it was just for a laugh surely there are other ways to get a laugh that don't involve that very specific act. I suspect that people who do this to others for no apparent reason get some type of pleasure from it, maybe not sexual but some kind.

Well, you know, except for the fact that there are many cases where women being hit by a man have been considered 'sexual' assault, especially when they're hit in the breast or genital. I'm 99 percent sure if I were to punt you in the vagina as hard as I could that it would be considered a sexual assault, especially if a likely result of that was you never being able to have babies.

I don't know what's worse- your grasp of the law or your grasp of biology.

[–]ahpuchalypse 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Wow, great ad hominem, my socially retarded friend. I was not suggesting that being punted in the vagina could make a woman sterile. I was suggesting that to understand why it was sexual assault, you had to understand that this could technically neuter a man. Not only that, but, yeah. Violence directed intentionally at a sexual organ is pretty cut and dry sexual assault. I hope your law degree was cheap.

[–]Dirt_McGirt_ -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

I apologize for misunderstanding your poorly written sentence. I retract the biology part. Let me try again.

I don't know what's worse- your grasp of the law or your grasp of logical fallacies.

Oh, your personal opinion is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. One day, when you can get therapy for whatever social issue you have, you'll realize that your opinions aren't facts.

No. It's not. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Just stop.

So, are we talking federal law or state law here? And exactly what is the issue? That I'm calling it 'sexual assault' instead of 'aggravated sexual touching' and 'battery'? Because in several states, this is sexual assault. Federally, it's the things I listed above. You can find this information on http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/920, where these terms are discussed. Not that you were helpful in any way, so I somehow doubt your response was due to anything other than a misplaced superiority complex or some kind of deep social trauma.

Either you didn't read that link or you think that punching is a "sexual act".
