Let's say the exact same thing happened as described in the story, except that the woman was sexually attracted to the man in question -- it would not be described as assault, just a man being aggressive and the woman liking it and being glad he did. I can't believe this comment is getting upvoted - by this logic, a random guy who comes up and punches me in the fact shouldn't be convicted of a crime because I let random guys in our dojo try to punch me during Aikido class(and some of them succeed when I screw up my blocking/avoidance technique). BTW, the legal definition of assault doesn't require direct violence, merely the threat of violence: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/assault http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/assault
