Question

julio and vanessa are on their first date when julio pressures vanessa to have sex. when she tells him no, he grabs her and kisses her anyway.
which behavior does this scenario describe?
○ flirting
○ (blurred option)
○ sexual assault
○ sexual harassment

Explanation:

Flirting is consensual and playful romantic/sexual interaction, which this is not. Miscommunication implies a misunderstanding, but here Julio ignores Vanessa's "no" and physically acts against her will. Sexual harassment often involves unwanted verbal/non - verbal conduct in a workplace/educational setting, while sexual assault is any non - consensual sexual act (including kissing here as Vanessa said no and he forced it). Since Julio grabbed and kissed Vanessa after she refused, this is sexual assault.

Answer:

sexual assault
