My question involves criminal law for the state of: NJ
As I am from NJ this post is mostly about the law in NJ regarding this but more or less it would apply to the entire country. Anyway, my post is about self defense from sexual assault. When people think about sexual assault usually they think about a woman being sexually assaulted somehow or another. Often that is the case but the fact remans that men can be and are sexually assaulted. Men get sexually assaulted by other men. So, what I want to point out is a man should not get in trouble for using physical force against another man who is sexually assaulting him as that would be self defense. So what I want to ask is, why would a man get in trouble for using physical force in such a situation? Its self defense.
