What is sexual assault?
Sexual assault is any forced or coerced sexual intercourse or contact. It is a crime of violence in which assailants, whether known to the victim or not, are motivated by a desire to humiliate and/or exert power over the victim. (Wisconsin State Statutes 940-225 and 948.02)
In short, any sexual contact that is not wanted is sexual assault. There are four degrees of sexual assault in Wisconsin*.
