"Is there some form of assault that isn't violent?" There are five forms of abuse, not one. Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual and Sexual. Assaults with contain varying degrees of each within a single offense, ranging from misdemeanor to felony levels. What RMS cluelessly missed was the imbalance of power, ala Bill Clinton and Monica. He was POTUS and she was a lowly staff intern. Any sitting judge worth his/her salt could charge rape and do. The statute used is the same one used to convict guards having sex on an inmate or teachers with students. (In NC it's &14.27.7) With Minski and a teenage girl, the imbalance of power just due to his age and worldly experience would fit. Ergo, run like hell from such a situation, as there isn't much of a defense.
So, if you consider Jim Jones as the spiritual abuser of all time, there ya go. Intellectual abuse?? Who do you nominate?
