Appy, I wasn’t endorsing that guy’s behavior. I think it is boorish. You cite several possible consequences, all of which are plausible, except for the last one: getting arrested. My original question was about where the line is: whether it was the proposition or the putting hands on a (non-sexual) area of the body that made this an attack or assault. I think the physical contact is a reasonable dividing line between mere boorishness and criminality. Your position seems to be that merely asking an unwelcome question (one time) justifies arrest. Suppose the question wasn’t about sex but about, say, buying some product I am trying to sell. Would it still be an arrest-worthy action?

Arrest can happen when you act like an idiot. That’s just part of the consequences. The way to avoid arrest is to not do stupid things. If you have sex with a woman you do not know, you cannot be guaranteed that she is not a nut who will accuse you of rape. She will have all the evidence she needs to make that charge because you gladly gave her the evidence. He’s an idiot who must pay the consequences for his stupidity. That’s just the way it is and it is especially true if you are stupid AND rich.

If a man has sex with a woman and she gets pregnant and she nails him for child support, it’s not my fault. It’s HIS fault. He did something stupid.

If the product you are trying sell is your dick, yeah, you might have to pay the Stupid Tax.
