Not a lawyer here, just an average citizen. If you are correct, then – in my opinion – sexual assault laws are too open-ended. As you describe it, forcefully trying to hold hands with a person who does not welcome the advance can potentially be viewed as a sexual assault by the “victim”, potential employers, and/or zealous prosecutors. Sorry, what I heard from Dr. Ford simply does not rise to the level of “serious” assault, let alone sexual assault. REAL crimes are being trivialized!
