OK, I just put that out there to get an idea where the standard for resigning should be.
Pretty sure the standard for resigning (in an actual Republic where a moral/criminal code still applied) would be subordniate to the standard for making an arrest given evidence that a violation of the criminal code had occured.
For Example, a violation of the UCMJ:
====================================
45. Article 120—Rape and sexual assault generally
(g) Definitions. In this section:
(2) Sexual contact. The term ‘sexual contact’
means—
(A) touching, or causing another person to
touch, either directly or through the clothing, the
genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks
of any person, with an intent to abuse, humiliate,
or degrade any person; or...
(8) Consent.
...
(B) A sleeping, unconscious, or incompetent person cannot consent. A person cannot consent to force causing or likely to cause death or grievous bodily harm or to being rendered unconscious. A person cannot consent while under threat or fear or under the circumstances described in subparagraph (C) or (D) of subsection (b)(1).
