If you had a crush on someone and they touch you inappropriately would you still call that sexual assault?

"The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim."-Definition

It could be Harry Styles and it would still be sexual assault. Hope you're okay :frown:

If you wanted it to happen or enjoyed it the its not assault

If you didn't enjoy it and didn't want it to happen in the first place then yeh you could class it as such.

Remember that sexual assault is a big term to throw around and it can ruin people when used incorrectly so you really should be sure

I'm not going to answer yes or no because I don't know what actually happened.

Your wording implies it was sexual assault but the situation could have been different.

Don't ask people questions they can't possibly answer properly.

yea

Your relationship with the person does NOT matter - if you have not given consent, it is sexual assault.

No? If she didn't convey consent, then it is sexual assault, end of. She can't control how her body reacted to it, so even if it felt good, if she didn't ask for it, it's sexual assault.

Obviously, I didn’t consent..these frequent situations happened ever so quickly and as a shy person, I never had the confidence to confront him about it.
At first I was confused, shocked and I did not know how to react then it was so frequent that I got used to it and enjoyed it maybe because it was my crush??? I have these days when I’m emotional too.. when I think about it I overthink and my emotions are all over the place :/
