What Constitutes Sexual Assault?<\/h2>\n

Sexual assault is a broad term which encompasses any unwanted touching of a person’s intimate parts.\u00a0 Under California sexual crime law<\/a>, any unwanted touching of a person’s genitals, groin, anus, buttocks, or breast likely qualifies as a sex crime.\u00a0 Sexual assault includes rape, sexual threats and intimidation, incest, child sex abuse, church sex abuse, human sex trafficking and other non-consensual sexual activity.\u00a0 Many sex crimes involve physical contact, but others such as stalking, and voyeurism do not.<\/p>\n

Stalking is characterized by a pattern of unwanted following or harassment with the intent to cause fear or discomfort.\u00a0 It may involve repeatedly showing up at a person’s home or place of business, making threatening phone calls or emails, vandalism and\/or written messages.<\/p>\n

Voyeurism is characterized by observing someone engaged in a private act without that person’s consent. In other words, voyeurism is an invasion of a person’s privacy in a location where they would normally expect privacy.\u00a0 Voyeurism may involve peeking through a door or window, and\/or using a device to peek through a hole or opening.<\/p>\n
