Sexual assault for stealing a kiss

lundi 16 octobre 2023 à 10:05

I warned that the stretchable term "sexual assault", which extends from grave crimes such as rape through significant crimes such as groping and down to no clear lower bound, could be stretched to criminalize minor things, perhaps even stealing a kiss. Now this has happened.

What next? Will a pat on the arm or a hug be criminalized? There is no clear limit to how far this can go, when a group builds up enough outrage to push it.
