I am actually pretty certain that a sexual assault charge does NOT have to be physical contact, I could be wrong but I think I am correct . That being said, if the guy really was researching a role , well then I have to say that perhaps this was not the best way to go about doing said research,he could have spoken to convicted child abusers , or even to adult survivors of sexual abuse. It seems to be a very flimsy excuse to me. I could almost be more forgiving of this had the guy said he was curious about what connotes abuse. The reason I feel there are so many threads on this particular subject is that people seek to gain knowledge about what they dont understand. We all have very strong feelings on this subject and as much as I dont like what some people have to say on it, it is thier right to say it. The guy was stupid , maybe hes a pedophile , maybe he isnt, no one really knows everyone else's deep dark secrets , and everyone has a dark side , as long as no one gets hurt , physically or emotionally, then we all need to be free to express ourselves . Before anyone gets snippy with me NOTE that I said "AS LONG AS NO ONE GETS HURT , PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY."
