Sexual assault

Sexual Assault is any involuntary sexual act whether by coercion or force, and any other non-consensual sexual touching or behaviour. It is a commonly used theme or plot device in comics - and a frequently controversial one, which the AAU Franchise has seen dealt with it on many occasions. The sometimes violent nature of these acts make sexual assault a go-to crime for "darker and edgier" book episodes, which are sometimes perceived as cases of "fridging" a character.
