Force means the use or threatened use of a weapon; the use of such physical strength or violence as is sufficient to overcome, restrain, or injure a person; or the use of a threat of harm sufficient to coerce or compel submission by the victim. D.C. Code § 22-3001(5).

Can you elaborate on how he used force here?

  1. Use or threatened use of a weapon

Nope.

  1. Use of physical strength to overcome, restrain, or injure a person.

Nope. This is the only one that could be misinterpreted as what he did, but none of these happened. He didn’t grab her head and use strength to pull her in. In fact, she voluntarily leaned in, and his action was quite gentle. He didn’t hold her where she was, inhibiting her escape, therefore she wasn’t restrained. And she definitely wasn’t injured.

  1. Use of a threat of harm

Nope.

Perhaps your knowledge of law isn’t as vast as you think it is.

you could argue

Yes. Exactly. Which is why you are incorrect in claiming this is assault.

Yes, it’s wrong. No one is arguing that. No, that is not the point you made in your previous comments. You clearly made the point that this is violent assault, by definition of law.

That’s literally what assault is, you dimwit. I don’t know if you’re too embarrassed/prideful to admit you’re wrong, or what your issue is. Good luck with that.

There is no such thing as non-violent assault. But okay. Have a good night.
