And you sound like you've never been the victim of an actual rape or legitimate sexual assault. Obviously a cavity search would be an uncomfortable, embarrassing, and highly unpleasant experience, but having a routine check performed is completely different than being sexually assaulted (assuming it was routine). The guard was doing his job, didn't personally target you, and didn't derive sexual pleasure from it. A blanket safety procedure is totally different than a targeted attack.
No it's not different. The pleasure received from the assailant has nothing to do with how a victim feels in a FORCED situation. The fact that their right is being removed from the situation is what causes that feeling where you feel like you're watching yourself from the outside. You know nothing about whether I've been sexually abused or not, please stop while you're ahead.
People accused of crimes give up certain rights. You can feel however you felt - again, I'm sure it sucked - but some things just suck. That doesn't make it sexual assault (and the article doesn't call it sexual assault).
That's how you view it.
That's not how Nony views it. That's how it is. You are guaranteed certain personal rights by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. You give up some of those rights voluntarily by committing a crime. Normally, you have a right to refuse a search by a law enforcement officer (unless they have a warrant or some other reason for said search). Here, you chose to drive drunk. Nobody forced you to drink, and nobody forced you to drive. You did those things on your own, and you got caught. Therefore, you gave up your right to refuse an unreasonable search. Put differently, by choosing to drive drunk and getting caught, you gave the police the ability to strip search you. That said, I feel super bad for you because it seems like that strip search caused some legitimate psychological/mental issues, or aggravated preexisting issues.
To keep this from going in a fucking circle - how the officer, public defender, or anyone else treated you throughout the process is simply not relevant here. It may be relevant for other purposes, but not re: you gave up certain rights by committing a crime.
Also, fucking google mens rea and then come back and tell TLS how intent doesn't matter.
