Can it still be sexual assault if we are in a relationship?

My boyfriend kept touching me even though I asked him over and over again to stop.

  • Yes. Sexual assault is indecent touching without consent.
  • It does not matter what the relationship is between the accused and the victim.
  • In fact most sexual assaults occur between people who are known to one another.
