No, you need better reading comprehension.

Unwanted contact = assault

Unwanted sexual contact = sexual assault

A kiss is not inherently sexual, therefore an unwanted kiss is assault, not sexual assault. Inappropriate and gross isn't automatically sexual.

Right, show me where the Spanish criminal code explicitly defines a kiss as sexual contact.

Yeah, because it's assault. Not sexual.

How dense are you people

And guess what the Spanish criminal codes definition of sexual assault is? Unwanted sexual contact.

A kiss is not inherently sexual. Wtf do you people not understand.

Please show me where Spanish criminal code defines what constitutes a kiss.

The law doesn't even define sexual assault beyond "unwanted sexual conduct". And again, a kiss is not inherently sexual.

Calling this sexual assault doesn't help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

in a sexual way,

Did you skip over this?

A kiss is not inherently sexual. Is a mother's kiss incest? I have a picture of my nephews kissing, is that CP? Hell, dudes in some parts of the world kiss their friends, on the lips, as a greeting.

Gross and inappropriate conduct isn't automatically sexual.

legal definition

For what jurisdiction? There's not one legal definition. Every country, and every state in the US, has their own definitions.

My state, for example, defines it as (paraphrasing) unwanted contact with intimate areas for the purpose of sexual gratification or humiliation, or to intentionally harm. It's a bit subjective and open to interpretation, but there's no way anyone would get convicted under this statute for a short, closed-mouth celebratory kiss.

Again, it's assault, and it's gross and inappropriate, but it doesn't meet all the elements of sexual assault.

Did I say it was ok? That's gross and inappropriate in my opinion, too. But it still happens and nobody cares. And yeah, it could be considered assault. But it's not sexual.

I was a Catholic altar boy. I assure you, I know the feeling.

Again, it's gross and inappropriate, not sexual assault.

Isn't that going a little far? Not defending the guy, it's gross and super inappropriate. But a simple kiss is hardly sexual. Basically every child ever is kissed against their will by older relatives and nobody bats an eye.

Fire the guy, ban him from football for life, but does he need to be arrested? He's not going around groping strangers. He just apparently does gross, stupid shit when he's excited.
