What does sexual assault mean?

It looks like a candidate for the dreaded "unofficial enforcement" - this used to be a feature of our society when men had a bit of an unwritten code and could expect societal support for it to be maintained.

Like everything else, this has all been washed down the ideological toilet along with any recognition of family or being a good neighbour 

Africans come from an entirely different culture than do the English. What is socially acceptable in one culture often isn't in another. It even varies between class. Much confusion can result, but never call the Feds. They are on nobodies' side but their own. You call the Feds on one of your people and sure enough they will call the Feds on you!

Well I'm not complimenting him on his tact, his manner and nor his intelligence and observational abilities. He seems rather keen to go around chatting up women. I have no idea about his personal life and why he is as he is, but I'm trying to work out what he did which was illegal rather than just being annoying or stupid etc. You can't just go around banning people up because you don't like the way they behave towards you. I've had loads of shit remarks from people over the years. Should they have gone to prison too? They tell us at one time he was threatening violence, but going on all the other shit we observe, we have to wonder to what degree. For example if I was having an argument with a woman who was insulting me or being mean and i turned around and called her a bitch, like I said well fuck off then you bitch, does that count as threatening violence, or are we talking a knife against the throat. You see when they report these things we really don't know what the heck they are on about given the ultra broad use of these terms. The guy just might be lonely and looking for people to talk to. London is a hideously anti-social place and so too is Reading. If he has simply been shafted by the Feds he certainly would not be the first. Prisons are full of those faces that fitted the crime, like standing in the wrong place at the wrong time is an offence if you are very low IQ. Then again he might be a really dangerous person for all I know. It's just not one thing reported so far makes me think that. There is nothing that clinches it, like say he got a long knife out and waved it around, then I would see the likelihood of a fair cop.

I see so it was 99% verbal. He did go away though after the woman made it clear she was not interested.

No not quite. What I had in mind was the black traditions in this mating game are roughly how he acted. Now lets suppose there was a black woman he was chatting up with the same crude ideas about sex as he has. She may not agree to have sex with him, but she would not in any way be surprised if a man tried it on, whereupon she would reject the advances he was making and that would be that, even to the point where the woman says no, but takes it as a compliment all the same. Women do like to be admired, this we know from experience. If he had imagined the encounter would be like that then there is no crime because he had no intention of doing anything that would upset the woman. The woman can say no and with a smile. Clearly this didn't happen and the woman was scared and the other people took it the same way as she did. He can be legal by intending to chat a woman up in a way that was asking for her consent. Now I don't know if this were the case or the detailed actions point towards it falling the other way and into the criminal domain. We just don't have the detail to know one way or another. I'm thinking here like  a scientist who has a hypothesis and neither believes it not disbelieves it without experimental proof. You do not have to  agree or disagree. You can take the position of 'I don't know', which is where I'm at here.



Yes because the English culture and the primitive African culture are at opposite ends of the spectrum and could really not be any more different. The Far Right call the Left the Far Left and the Far Left call the Right Far Right. It's relativity. His world is a different normal from our normal.

It depends on what we mean by consent. There are all sorts of different ways one can consent. One could do it in writing through their solicitor (the Swedish way!) or there could be verbal consent and then there is implied consent as well. What I'm saying is in it being a cultural norm in his culture, he might believe that touching is consensual, like for example you don't need written consent to shake someone's hand, but you do it impulsively because it is normal. Talking of which, one time this happened to me when this woman who was one of the BBC's top presenters grabbed me and started kissing me and I did not give any consent to that. This is another example of how different cultures work in practice.
