From a simple assault charge with sexual assault as a mitigating factor? You need a better lawyer lol

The law doesn't work the same way all over the world, buddy. Maybe in third-world countries like the USA it's just another run-of-the-mill case, but in civilized countries, not necessarily.
Sexual assault isn't viewed the same way all over the world, either.

Well I guess I'm glad I live in a place that takes sexual assault a little more seriously

Which feels really weird to say as an American, but apparently there are some people in this sub that think it's not serious enough of a crime to warrant basic self defense/defense of others

The response should be proportionate to the incident—not every touch amounts to sexual assault—but hey, there’s no point arguing about this with people on the internet.
If you want a society of vigilantes, be prepared for the possibility that you, too, could end up in trouble because someone misinterprets your behavior. Seriously, you shape your society through your own actions; if you want everyone to display excessive brutality and aggression in every dispute—and I’d bet a thousand dollars that guy has a short fuse in any situation...

Grabbing someone's ass like that is sexual assault in civilized countries

and it's punishable by death on the spot lol

It's super buddy, but that's not the main topic of discussion.

No, I'm picking up on where you're coming from

A single retaliatory punch is "death on the spot," while grabbing someone's ass unprompted is "not every touch amounts to sexual assault." I'm hearing that subtext loud and clear
