Indecent assault is a criminal term used to describe non-consensual or inappropriate physical contact of a sexual nature. This act can have various synonyms depending on the context, including sexual battery, unwanted sexual contact, molestation, groping, or sexual misconduct. The use of these terms may depend on the severity or specific details of the act. It is essential to recognize that any form of unwanted sexual contact or behaviour is unacceptable and should be reported immediately. In some cases, these synonyms may be used interchangeably with indecent assault, but they all describe similar behaviours that are considered criminal and must be addressed.
