Not to mention he's not clearly guilty. There's intentionally quite a bit of grey area in the sexual assault provision in the criminal code; it covers everything from maybe stuff like this to rape at knifepoint.
Is someone, realistically, ever going to get charged with sexual assault for something like this? Or as OMGWTF said, the similar behavior that happens in bars all the time? I'd say that in almost every case the answer is "probably not" - I don't know, though, I am neither with the RCMP nor do I practice criminal law.
