According to Pamela Cross, a lawyer who works with women’s anti-violence organizations across Ontario, the televised incident in B.C. does provide the starting point for a sexual assault charge. “It is, from a legal point of view, the basis for sexual assault. Clearly she did not consent, and it’s contact of a sexual nature,” Cross said.

Sexual assault as defined by the Criminal Code is vague, she noted, and largely determined by case law
