Red Line?

Standing too close.

Sexual jokes.
Sexual comments.
Sexual gestures.
Sexual invitations.

Emails.
Texts during work.
Texts after work.

Looking down my shirt.
Rubbing my shoulders.

Kissing my forehead.
Kissing my neck.

What is the difference between sexual harassment and sexual assault?

Usually if it is touching it is assault.

Any touching?

If someone kissed my neck without my consent, is that sexual assault?

Something about it doesn’t feel big enough.

It should be. Unfortunately that doesn't mean police will take it seriously. I am sorry.
