"in the serious sexual assault"? So other rapes are just jokes?

[wildrosegirl]

That was the first thing that popped into my mind too.

"Serious... as opposed to?"

[Dragom]

The seriousness of an assault varies from bloody nose to permanent vegetative state.

Sexual assaults vary in a similar fashion.

Exactly. Sexual assault is everything from an unwanted pat on the butt to violent rape. Smart move, that, combining all that under one term.

[Proculation]

Sexual assault is a general term. From Stats Canada, 39% of women experienced a sexual assault.

It can be forcing kiss, touching a breast and rape.

The appropriate term would be "aggravated sexual assault" instead of "serious sexual assault" IMHO. As the criminal code say.

Actually I meant between "Gross Sexual Assaults" (Legal Term) like your husband deciding you don't really have to be in the mood one night and two guys abducting a teen off the side of the road for some "hit her in the face with a tire iron till she stops complaining about being raped" action theres some you know kind of a sliding scale there.

Excellent point. Thank you for clearing that up.
