Multiple Choice

A male high school student who pushed a female high school student up against a locker, reached into her blouse and fondled her breasts, committed the crime of felony sexual battery.

Explanation:
Non-consensual sexual contact obtained by force with a minor is a felony sexual battery in many jurisdictions. In this scenario, the male student uses force—pushing the girl against a locker—and then touches her breasts without her consent, and the victim is a minor. Those elements—sexual touching without consent plus the use of force (and the involvement of a minor)—fit the definition of felony sexual battery, not a misdemeanor. Therefore, the statement is true.
