When one thinks of slaps, punches, hair pulling, one tends to think more "assault". A fine distinction, but I wonder if it played into effect at all.
If, for instance, what Jian did wasn't foreplay, he could have gone up the river for just plain assault. He never denied that it happened, just that it was consensual.

If you take out the sexual element and the publicity none of the physical contact would see Ghomishi sent to jail, he'd get a caution or a peace bond with a no contact if this had been Friday night drunk outside the legion.
