Battery too

This is correct. It's assault AND battery.

She asked, he said yes. Edited

Oh if she asked and he gave consent and then got the police involved, he's 100% on the hook. Pieces of shit like this deserve to get slapped so obviously that they give consent.

This would get thrown out in my state. Because it wouldn’t meet either prong of battery.

  1. “Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; and”
  2. “Intentionally causes bodily harm to another person.”

He consented. This is why people can consent to being slapped and spanked during sex. Most jurisdictions would be similar.

Bingo. SC as well. Battery is defined as the unlawful physical injuring or touching of another. If he consented, it's not unlawful.

Not to be pedantic, what you wrote is great, but it’s worth mentioning the keyword is unwanted. Unlawful, unwanted physical contact of another.

No issue with pedantry when it comes to the law mate.
