Does this count as assault?

Question

I have been groped by guys at my school, and wondered if I can report them to the police so they can stop hurting me. I am very self conscious and I hate it when they do that.

Answer 1

According to wksexcrimes.com, "A minor found delinquent (“guilty”) of committing child on child sexual abuse by a juvenile court is subject to a broad range of treatment, from home probation for a specified period of time to custody in a juvenile justice facility until the age of 25, depending on:

The severity of the offense;
The risk to the public; and
The delinquent minor’s needs."

Technically, yes, you are able to report them to the police. However, before you decide to take legal action, please consider the severity of the offense and if you are at all exaggerating the situation.

WAIT HOLD UP IF THIS COUNTS AS ASSAULT DOES IT COUNT AS ASSAULT WITH CHILD ON CHILD SORT OF THING BECAUSE THESE BOYS KEEP POPPING ME AND THE REST OF THE GIRLS BRAS AND IK THATS NOT ASSAULT BUT ITS ESCALATED TO SLAPPING OUR BUTTS SO DOES THAT MEAN WE COULD SOMEHOW REPORT THEM CUZ OUR TEACHER WONT

Answer 2

Yes, that is wrong.

No one should grope you. Tell the police. Don't feel ashamed. People who have been sexually assaulted feel guilty in themselves and this keeps them from telling others who can help! Make sure you tell the police and the school. Also, tell the guys to STOP. Stay away from the guys who do it. Tell your aunt, she shouldn't feel ashamed in you, she should want to help you! DO NOT let people do this to you. This can scar you for life if you don't STOP IT now! Good luck! I hope you feel better after everything stops.

 

If you wear things that are "****" or whatever stop that, otherwise you should be okay. If you don't then good.

Answer 3

Oh no... I feel really sorry for you.
Yes, groping is counted as sexual assault. Moreover, you are a minor! You should immediately tell a trusted person, like your teacher, parents or anyone else whom you trust. Those guys obviously deserve punishment.

I know they deserve punishment! But, I feel ashamed in what has happened. I feel like it's my fault, and I'm just going to get into more trouble.

It's not your fault. You don't need to think that. It's THEIR fault! They should feel guilty!

---

You've done nothing wrong. These "things" need to learn that there are consequences to their actions.

Agreed -Moonlight-. Those ''animals'' need to learn a lesson. Yes, I said ''animals'' because they can't be human beings. They don't have the least bit of humanity. I'm so angry right now...

Answer 4

Yup, counts as assault.

You should tell an adult...
