You’re moving the goalposts by switching from “sexual assault does not imply violence” to “sexual assault does not imply physical violence”. The first sentence of the article is
“Sexual assault is an act in which a person intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will.”
which does not make clear that sexual assault does not imply violence (the second sentence makes clear that it does). Neither your previous comment nor the RMS quote
“The word ‘assaulting’ presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing.”
sees its truth value change depending on whether we’re including non-physical violence.
