There seems to be only two venues for sexual assaults-- the court of public opinion and the court of law and neither are well-equipped to address or redress the situation.

The over-arching question is how far do we have to go to protect people from themselves?  

There are consequences to every decision including regret and remorse.  But do those substantiate a legal action?  I bought a car and it's a lemon should there be recourse?  I had sex and it was lousy and I feel guilt and shame should there be recourse?  

The police should not be asked to be relationship counsellors, mental health professionals, anti-terrorist experts etc etc when people themselves refuse to accept that they make decisions and those choices have consequences.

This isn't about obvious cases of assault, it's about people acting from emotions and expecting others to clean up their mess.  One need only look at divorce proceedings to realize most people are lacking the maturity to leave the house unsupervised.
