Ford’s lawyers have not specified what provision of the Maryland criminal laws (current or 35 years ago) were violated by the conduct alleged in the letter. The least severe of the current Maryland sexual assault statutes is sexual assault in the fourth degree which requires as an element engaging in sexual contact without the other’s consent. The phrase engaging in sexual contact means intentionally touching the victim’s or defendant’s genital, anal, or other private parts for sexual gratification or abuse of either person.
