You still don’t think it’s assault, though. That isn’t the word that comes to mind in that moment. No, in that moment, when their hands seem to be everywhere . . . on your side, and brushing the underside of your bra, and on your ass, and then . . . yup . . . grabbing your pussy . . . the word assault doesn’t come to mind.
This Is What It Feels Like To Be “Grabbed By the Pussy” By Someone You Know

But it absolutely is. And it can be the start of the slippery slope that leads either of two ways: rape, or other (potentially deadly) physical trauma, sometimes both. Both are predicated on the assaulter having established ‘ascendancy’ (power) over the victim, and by not identifying ‘pussy grabbing’ as assault, the victim has by default allowed the perpetrator to get to ‘first base’.
So it’s vitally important we educate our young people before it happens that this is assault, and as such, it is a CRIMINAL act. I can think of one person right now who has, by his own words, indicated he has committed a crime. If anyone should go to jail it is he.
