Is it your view that the meaning of most criminal offences is that broad? It seems to me that the meaning of manslaughter, for example, is pretty clear - it's simply a matter of applying a reasonably straightforward definition to a particular set of facts. I can't claim criminal code expertise but it seems to me that assault "of a sexual nature" is hazier than "falsifying a document with intent to defraud", or "killing someone while intending to cause death or severe bodily harm likely to result in death".
