Are you really one of those male feminists?
It wouldn't be a class 3 felony if it was a 23 year old man tearing a 16 year old girls shirt and gouging her mouth with his fingers. That would definitely be sexual assault on a minor and you know it.
kynes and i just had this debate so i know the details quite well.
a victim between ages 15 and 17 calls for a 10 year age difference and then it is class 4 felony sexual assault.
but the physical violence steps it up to a class 3 felony sexual assault, regardless of gender.
that goes for colorado at least, where our senate candidate wants to charge a doctor with a class 3 felony if he provides an abortion to get rid of her rapist's baby (the rapist would likely get a class 4 felony sexual assault, a lesser charge than the doctor).
maybe you should check the law before complaining of tyranny on men.
