From https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/district-columbia-assault-laws.htm
In the District of Columbia, it is a misdemeanor to:
assault another person, or threaten someone in a menacing manner.
(D.C. Code § 22-404.)
Under general legal principles, an assault is a physical act or a show of force that puts another person in fear of imminent harm or offensive physical contact. For example, hitting someone with a fist could be considered an assault, and so could throwing a beer bottle at an individual. Because the Districts laws criminalize both assaults and threats, neither injury to nor physical contact with the victim is necessary to violate Washington, D.C.s assault law.

or offensive physical contact.
Like "grabbing a woman by their p*ssy"
That's "offensive physical contact"
Of course, women who "let' men grab their "hoohaa" is not a crime(yet) but keep pushing along this line that nudging, as Accosta(who is offensive anyway) did and you will make any kind of incidental contact a federal case.
It's ruining football so keep whining about "karate chops" and it's just this attitude that will lead to more bad laws, bad court decisions and less freedom for doing what Americans used to call "bad manners'
Sheeeesh!!
