Question

mika and olivia, both adults, have been exchanging smiles and texts. at first olivia enjoyed it, but now mika is sending descriptions of what he would like to do to her body. she has asked him to stop texting her, but he keeps sending the same types of texts.

which behavior does the end of this scenario describe?

○ flirting
○ molestation
○ sexual assault
○ sexual harassment

Explanation:

1. Analyze "flirting": Flirting is consensual and light - hearted romantic/sexual interaction. Here, Olivia asked Mika to stop, so it's not flirting.
2. Analyze "molestation": Molestation usually involves physical contact in an unwanted sexual way. The scenario here is about text messages, so not molestation.
3. Analyze "sexual assault": Sexual assault involves physical sexual violence or non - consensual physical sexual acts. The situation here is about text messages, so not sexual assault.
4. Analyze "sexual harassment": Sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual - themed communication (like the inappropriate texts here) that continues even after the recipient asks to stop. Mika's continued inappropriate texting after Olivia's request to stop fits this.

Answer:

D. sexual harassment
