He pressed his genitals against another person. Yep, disgusting and stupid. If it were a passed out woman rather than a passed out male it's just as stupid and disgusting but I fail to see how it rises to a higher level of criminal just because the person is female. I don't see any intent on his part to make this about dominating anyone through something as heinous as rape or coerced sexual intercourse. All I see is a dumb drunk asshole doing something stupid.

I fail to see how he sexually assaulted anyone by being a stupid prick.

Also, why would you think pressing his genitals against another male is any less offensive, different or less criminal than if it were a female? Little double-standard there customerserviceguy?
