Re: Should there be a sexual assault crime?
[ QUOTE ]
The damage done by a sexual offense is often greater than other offenses of similar natures.
[/ QUOTE ]
Just as the damage done by hitting someone in the arm is different than torturing them in some way for hours. We can easily factor damage intended/caused into the punishment phase. Is there something fundamentally different about sexual assault where it is deserving its own crime (just as an aside, I think there might be, but I am curious to hear others' thoughts.)
