Ok.
Here's the issue
Either you believe there are levels of sexual assault, someone called it a spectrum. If you believe there is a spectrum of least harm to greatest harm then not all sexual assault is the same eg. it's not all like violent rape.
Then this is confusing from your earlier post
"Now you will argue that a "forced extremely violent rape" is not equal to the rape of a woman who is passed out drunk. Continuum of harm right?"
You also say that the police must make decisions about the level of harm so far as to judge a certain level high enough to tell the media
"This kid has multiple victims who reported his attacks, so I am sure they were more than attempted hand holding. They were bad enough to release the photo of a minor."
You concluded -
"I can't even with people who argue there are acceptable forms sexual assault."
I didn't read that thought anywhere, but, I do believe some complainants make far more, and far too much of something both innocent and not harmful which is amplified to the extent that real harm is caused to her target, the accused.
Words matter. Saying you're fearful has a specific meaning. When someone twists the meaning of being fearful to be the close to or the same as uncomfortable, that person then becomes the criminal.
Saying all sexual assault is the same, as I think you did, is twisting the meaning of assault and sexual assault.
Yes. It is asinine to pretend that holding hands is commonly classified as sexual assault. The police call it sexual assault because that's where it falls under the criminal code. The media describe it as sexual assault because that what it is officially called.
And yes, a teen engaging in less heinous sexual assaults is all but guaranteed to escalate to more serious ones if they are not charged. Treating this like a 'boys will be boys' situation will only create adults who are at best dysfunctional.
If you want the accurate definition for sexual assault, perhaps you should speak to your lawyer.
None of the above.
I was really tired after spending 3 days in the fleshpots of NYC.
Sir, you are way too intelligent and rational for the toxic environment society is currently in.
It is interesting how often people with lenient attitudes towards things like this are also the people saying they'd kill the guy if they did it to their kid/mom/GF.
Substantiation from a reputable source, please.
Is patting a woman on the bum a heinous sexual assault? If yes, John Turner and Trudeau the Younger are sex offenders and should have been charged, convicted and punished.

And as I said, the courts will take into account the actions if/when this kid is prosecuted. You seem hung up on the media not saying how severely these women were assaulted.
Since the police and media won't tell us, I suspect the kid did nothing worse than what the guy in the video below did. The kid was on a bike wearing a backpack, what worse could he have done?

First, societal standards change. In the 50's a pat on the ass might have been acceptable. Today it is a crime.
As for studies, here's a few. there are a bunch other on google scholar that are behind paywalls.
Lethal outcome in elderly sexual violence: Escalation or different intent?
www.sciencedirect.com
And one abstract that seems very clear.
A sample of 231 sexual offenders was studied with respect to the progression of their offenses from non-contact sexual crimes (such as exhibitionism and voyeurism) as juveniles, to the more serious sex assaults of rape and child molestation as adults. The results of this study reveal that a significant number of offenders manifest a history of sexually inappropriate behaviors beginning in early adolescence. It appears from the study that many offenders begin to act out sexually at an early age and if left untreated may escalate to more serious sexual assaults.
Would you walk up to a woman and without consent grab or slap her ass and believe there would be no repercussions?
Of course I would not. On the other hand, what are the repercussions if some dude did? Hanged, drawn and quarter?
Didn't "they" say the same about watching porn?First, societal standards change. In the 50's a pat on the ass might have been acceptable. Today it is a crime.

If the boy was apprehended and charged with sexual assault, that would be a strong indication of what he allegedly did. A police spokesperson classifying the incidents as a sexual assault investigation isn't specific enough for speculation about what actually happened.
John Turner, in absentia and Trudeau the Younger are in deep goo.

this was the conversation
I wasn't referring to the little hoodlum going around feeling up gilfs but once caught I will still stick with arrested and charged.
