    Well legal definitions are different in different places, but I would imagine it’s usually something like indecent exposure or maybe sexual harassment. Not sexual assault.

    My first instinct is yes, it is essentially flashing. On the other hand, I feel I would be way less likely to assign a sexual motive to mooning unless it was combined with some other sexual gesture or something.

      Actually I don’t think it does, at least depending on where you are, and the definition for sexual assault might be different, but in my state (US) you can be charged with assault even for intent to attack someone.

          I think it might depend on if the person mooning is moving toward the victim and if the victim is “in range” of…the butt.

          If someone was backing that (bare) ass up on me I’d definitely feel threatened, or if they moon me so close that they might spray me.

    It’s certainly borderline right between assault and harassment I would think.

    I guess that depends on if you consider the sight of a hairy butthole to be sexual.

    What? It’s ALWAYS a hairy asshole. You NEVER see a girl moon, or a well kept guy moon. It’s ALWAYS some 300lbs plumber bod guy.
