Question: Oh come on - I just grabbed her butt - so what's the big deal?
Answer: Sexual abuse is a crime and a felony. A person commits sexual abuse by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual contact with any person 15 or older without that person’s consent or with intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual contact with a person under 15 years of age if the sexual contact involves only the female breast. (ARS §13-1404). Sexual contact with other parts of the victim’s body if the victim is under 15 years of age could result in even more serious charges.
Conviction of nearly all sex crimes requires lifetime registration as a sex offender. (A.R.S. 13-3821).
A victim of harassment that arises out of a dating relationship may also obtain a court order against that harassment (ARS §12-1809).

You would think that would be taken as a compliment, "Hey your a fine specimen of the female body" is really all it says, not "You gonna get raped" then again you never know.
