But what's Sexual assault in the first place? Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention.

It can happen in different situations: in the home by someone you know, on a date, or by a stranger in an isolated place.

Cecily McMillan is now on trial for defending herself at an Occupy Wall Street protest after she felt someone grab her breast. McMillan's decision to fight back—both immediately after she was groped and now, in court—is brave, and sends a powerful message that women should not be blamed for defending themselves.

This study seems to been conducted on young girls so I am assuming that they are dealing with young boys. If these boys are allowed to act this way they will continue to do so when they grow up and that is madness. |
