I think that "sexually harassed" would be a better term than "sexually assaulted". I think almost all women have experienced harassment, but I connote assault with rape. However, I just looked up some legal definitions and most of the definitions went like this:
Every state defines crimes like "rape" and "sexual assault" differently. However, the following acts are considered crimes in most states when they are committed with physical force or with a threat to hurt the victim or another person. These acts are also crimes if the victim is physically helpless and can't give consent. For example, when the victim is drunk or asleep and unable to refuse sex.
*Penetration of a victim's anus or vagina. The penetration may be by a body part, such as finger or penis, or by an object.
*Penetration of the victim's mouth by a man's penis.
*Intentionally touching a victim's intimate parts, such as buttocks, inner thigh, breasts, genital area. (or the clothing covering those body parts)
*Forcing a victim to touch someone else's intimate parts
*Cunnilingus: contact between the mouth of one person and the vulva of another.
So, using that definition, it would be sexual assault when someone grabs your bottom uninvited. I think that has happened to every female on the planet.
