wrong...they newsies sometimes use the term "sexual assault" instead of saying rape or sodomy out of respect for the victims
Sexual assault
Definition
"Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats. Usually a sexual assault occurs when someone touches any part of another person's body in a sexual way, even through clothes, without that person's consent. Some types of sexual acts which fall under the category of sexual assault include forced sexual intercourse (rape), sodomy (oral or anal sexual acts), child molestation, incest, fondling and attempted rape. Sexual assault in any form is often a devastating crime. Assailants can be strangers, acquaintances, friends, or family members. Assailants commit sexual assault by way of violence, threats, coercion, manipulation, pressure or tricks. Whatever the circumstances, no one asks or deserves to be sexually assaulted."
Use some common sense..a pack of woman who show up with 20 soldiers arent trying to save a woman from getting her ass pinched by a group of unruly protestors...either way enduring a "brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating" as CBS news put it doesnt sound to appealing to me
