Does sticking a pencil in someone's butt crack count as assault?

[Anonymous]

I'm 17 and I recently remembered this incident that happened when I was about 10. I was sitting on the floor in an English lesson, and I was really fat so my trousers didn't go all the way up and they went further down when I sat down, so my bum crack was showing. A while later, I felt a sharp pain in my crack and it made jump a bit, then I found out that 2 boys sitting behind me who had made fun of me stuck a pencil in there, and years later even to this day they still laugh at me! People usually laugh but are a bit shocked/disgusted when I tell them this story and looking back it is kind of funny though! Someone even said once that this is assault. Does that count?

I mean it is assault. At 10 years old more than likely you'll just have a teacher reprimand them rather than trying to press charges at that age.

But any violation of a person's personal space is considered assault and if the action is sexual in nature then it is even more likely to be seen as such

This has got to be the best question I ever read here on GAG.

It was 7 years ago and they were 10... Let it go. When I was 10 some jackass smacked me on the back of the head when we were doing our after lunch walk around the bus circle. So I chased him down and slammed his face into a brick wall. We both got referrals yada yada yada. Life goes on. Was it assault? Sure... Do I care about it. No not at all, it's part of growing up.

If they were your age at the time then no, it wasn't sexual assault. Unfortunately, kids will be kids.

You should take one of your pens and shove it up their ass... sideways.
