* Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or attempts to commit these acts.

Am I reading this correctly? A failed *attempt* to make inappropriate contact with someone (however that is determined) is now an assault?

Look up the difference between assault and battery. Assault is verbal.
