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?

• (first option is blurred)
• molestation
• sexual assault
• sexual harassment

Explanation:

1. Analyze "flirting": Flirting is consensual and light - hearted. 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 is a physical act of a sexual nature without consent. The scenario is about text messages, not a physical act, so not sexual assault.
4. Analyze "sexual harassment": Sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual - themed communication (like the text messages Mika is sending) even after being asked to stop, which matches the scenario.

Answer:

D. sexual harassment
