ORIGINAL: bounty44 i appreciate that, thank you. so what im understanding is---the police and some lawyers think theres enough evidence for charges to be pursued but the case didn't end up in trial. do we know why? I suspect the most common reason would be the DA doesn't think, given what they have, that a trial would be worth pursuing. What would you charge him with? Most sex crimes require an act involving the vagina, urethra, penis, and/or anus. Normal assault requires an injury. Sexual harassment is a civil matter in most cases, though NY does have provisions making it a criminal matter, quote:
Link if it involves the following elements: Forcible touching which occurs which a person intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly touches the sexual or other intimate parts of another person for the purpose of degrading.
