Sexual Assault is often defined as sexual contact that involves an un-consenting party. The definition of un-consenting parties may include a person's inability to consent due to intoxication or physically/mentally incapacity. A person's occupation may put them at particular risk for a sexual assault accusation. Doctors and teachers are at particular risk for sexual assault cases.
