I didn't want to go but he said he's not going to do something that i don't like and that we are just going to watch some movies. So we went to his apartment and as soon as we got there he's all over me. I told him to stop but he started taking out my clothes and touching me all over. This went on for a few minutes and i finally scream and told him to stop. I put on my clothes and run out. Is this considered sexual assault? Reply to this Question

 Sweetie, sounds like sexual assault - after asking him to stop and he didnt listen....mmmmmm.... glad you got out there before things got too out of hand. Dont ever see this man again or if you do see him, make sure that you are in a public place. Sounds like hes one of those men who are under the mistaken belief that 'when a woman says no/stop.. it actually means yes'.......

 I dont think you should see him again, he doesnt sound very nice. I'm affraid that some guys (although very rare, thank god) think that if they take you out for dinner you owe them sex. It would be a good idea to take what Uncle Phil said into concideration. How far would this Guy have gone if you hadnt screamed!!! makes you wonder doesnt it?
At least you had a lucky escape, thank you lucky stars for that.
I am not saying the guy is a rapist, but he could turn into one couldnt he?. I mean he didnt take no for an answer, so perhaps another girl might not be so strong.

I think you had a lucky escape but if the law got involved it would be difficult to prove as it would be your word against his. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to involve the law so that he might think twice about his actions in future. A visit from the police would do him good. Unfortunately there are still a few neanderthals out there who believe that when a woman says 'no' she means 'yes', and he needs educating that this sort of behaviour is totally unacceptable.
