This is common sense but by far most of the sexual offenders, people that rape, grope, make lewd comments, ect. are men. Their victims consist mostly of women, most of the time when a sexual crime or offense is being committed its a man and his victim is a woman but sometimes men will commit sexual offenses against other men. Anyway, sexual crime is a serious problem and should not be taken lightly. So I propose this, if a sexual crime consists of inappropriate touching, touching or trying to touch any part of the body that's covered by the bathing suit, if the offender is a man, regardless of if the would be victim is male or female, the would be victim should be allowed to use any level of force he or she wants to in order to stop the offender. The use of force continuum should not come into play in situations like this. To say that the would be victim should only be allowed to use a level of force in proportion to their attacker would be to degrade the seriousness of sexual crimes.
