I think sexual assault in all it's various guises is rampant. The basic problem is knowing where to draw a sensible line over what is and what is not an assault as so much depends on individuals themselves and what they consider is an assault against them. The basic problem is that assault at the moment is associated mainly with a "violent" act, but that's just not clear enough.
All these people in the USA that have been accused of something, and not one of them that I am aware of is facing proper legal trial to identify if they are guilty. It's just so messy with many preferring the big payout option which is kind of ironic as most of the issues seem to have arisen from a wealth/power issue in the first place
